The OSM Community discusses the Trump Administration's renaming of "The Gulf of Mexico" to "The Gulf of America"
Gulf of America - Gulf of Mexico
Looks like the thread is gone now, what was the discussion like?
To put it simple, they say each country can decide what name to use for where, and that's what OSM uses as a reference.
What it is called however is not by defined by what the president says alone though, it has to go through the entire government bureaucracy thing.

Hrm, I can still see it.
I just checked, and it's only the link in the post body
It has a period at the end, and so my client opened an error page. I can see it now :)
The thread still works for me.
Oh I see the issue
The link in the post is fine, the link in the post body goes to a "page doesn't exist or has been deleted" message because of the period at the end

Thanks :)

Ah! Interesting! That's good to know. I didn't consider that some Lemmy apps or browser UI's might not format the Markdown how I've been expecting. The correct CommonMark Markdown syntax for plain text links is to do <uri-inside-angle-brackets> [1]; I'll change the URL in the post's body to that format to improve support. Thanks for letting me know! 😊
