@aral @pietervdvn i don't care about Microsoft. I care about the content of the text. And that's mostly panicking over almost nothing. That's not radical, it's just dumb. The simple suggestion of updating the guidelines for preventing user management proxying would've done the job.

chemo@mastodon.social's status on Wednesday, 08-Feb-2023 15:11:15 JST chemo @aral @pietervdvn this is all a little bit overdramatic. tl;dr: Microsofts MapBuilder creates OSM accounts that can only be accessed by the users via MapBuilder. This should change, no doubt. However, users are free to create regular OSM accounts and easily overcome the limits of the restricted MB accounts. Everything else is just dramatic speculation what MS possibly could do to harm OSM. Which can be dealt with if it actually happens.
