Created an account just to say, PLEASE - keep this label as “Gulf of Mexico”. As on open community, we should not bend to the knee of a tyrant. One sad pathetic man should not have that power. I am disgusted and ashamed to be an American right now. Google, Apple, and the rest sell us out. I refused to comply. OSM must remain unbiased, and keep the name which has defined this body of water for hundreds of years.
As of revision version #85, OpenStreetMap has the following tags for Golfo de México:
As an american. I want the option to display it as Gulf of Mexico. Like it’s always been before that fat sack of shit was trying to win points wit hracists to distract them from the hand reaching up their ass to fuck them.
So now that is in the hands of the folks who use the OSM data. It’s in a somewhat exotic tag, so by default any map that uses OSM will still show Gulf of Mexico, unless they actively intervene to show Gulf of America. So if you see an OSM based map showing the latter, you know they made that choice consciously.

They could add a snowflake option that when activated makes it display as Gulf of America.
A checkbox labelled “Triggered” on the phone.
As an American and long time OSM contributor, I also vote extremely no on Gulf of America.
Also no on renaming New Mexico.
Wait there’s talk of renaming New Mexico‽
after some digging
Oh thank god it was just a joke
Next month:
Paper companies would make a killing profit this period.
for now
I’m hoping that my comment doesn’t age like milk
New Mexico? You mean “South America”, right?
(Everything south of the Rio Grande is now “Mexico”. Except for the
PanamaAmerica canal.)But you couldn’t tell, could you. 😂 I’m keeping this joke alive as long as I can, until Trump gets wind of it and actually does it.
“Petition to rename New Mexico to Freexico, and Mexico to Cartelistan”

As an American I have to second this. Please don’t fall in line to lick trump’s boot
