Goodbye #komoot, and thanks for the fish.
Alle Touren exporiert (https://jlelse.blog/dev/komoot-export) und in #Wanderer importiert.

When we started bikepacking in 2010, handmade bags, no Garmin no Rules and before Gravel meant anything, I never thought bikepacking and the fucked up nature of techbro internet business models would ever coincide in a major way. With Komoot, it did.
This is a super thoughtful piece, I would recommend anyone to read not only for bikepackers, but anyone interested in commons in digital spaces. Also proves again why bikepacking.com is just such a gem of a space on the web.

🚲 ... et l'expression "se faire komooter" pris un nouveau sens :

Je n'attendais pas à voir Cory Doctorow ( @pluralistic ) apparaitre sur un des sites de #bikepacking que je suis habituellement 😯

In case you missed it, there is now a Fediverse alternative to Strava called Wanderer:
There is a public server list at:
➡️ https://wanderer.to/servers
To sign up on a server, click on "Create Account", then "Login", then "Make One".
If you're running your own public Wanderer server you can add it to the list at https://github.com/Flomp/wanderer/discussions/361
Techy people can self-host using instructions at https://wanderer.to/run/installation
wanderer: Decentralized trail database: #wanderer by @flomp is a new, #opensource, #decentralized #trail database where you can upload tracks (or import them from #STRAVA or #Komoot), create or share routes, and connect with communities through #ActivityPub-powered #federation.
