Anyone know what's going on with the cycleOSM layer (June 2024)? (lemmy.ca)

I'm seeing fake roads everywhere, and the map looks like a spider's web.

It's like this on every website that displays the cycleOSM layer: the official cycleOSM site, Openstreetmap, brouter, etc.

@Showroom7561 OpenStreetMap has been subject to serious vandalism. It seems that while the underlying data has been cleaned up, some users of this data including CyclOSM have not yet been able to update their tiles.

Thank you. Such a shame. I don't see the point of someone taking time to vandalize a platform like OSM. Such a waste of human life, and other people's time.
