OpenStreetMap is now back up and running :-)
The new stack has some unique feature like the vector tiles being minutely updated directly from OSM mapping changes. There are still issues to fix as it is still only a technical preview.
We don't offer 2x raster tiles because we simply don't have the resources to do it while keeping the tiles minutely updated and open access. We serve around 60k req/sec on a tiny donation backed budget. The raster tiles…

Sub-domain takeover attack. The sub-domain was CNAME'ed to a S3 bucket and the S3 bucket had likely been deleted. The porn purveyor, re-created a new S3 bucket with pr0n. A scanner that would have caught the…
Wikipedia updates pending ;-)
The vandalism was reverted in 2 hours over 20 days ago. If Mapbox had stayed current with the diffs we publish, the vandalism would have been gone in a blink.

Correct. The vandalism was reverted within 2 hours and a data update publish a minute or 2 later. Mapbox import the original vandalism change only today for some reason and there seems to have been a delay in importing…

Having the govt require ISPs to collect this data about us will result in ISPs "aggregating" the data and selling it to advertising / marketing firms, insurers or anyone willing to cough up a few £ for your private data.
We'd love for you to get involved and help improve the map :)
