If it was (more) moderated it would just be sterile, boring, and less true to reality. The entire point is to label areas with the most obviously applicable stereotype, and for that it's doing a great job.
There used to be something similar to this (was it called wikimapia?) back around 2008-2010 or so (maybe it's still around?) where people could up/down vote the tags and if the downvotes prevailed the tag would go away.
AFAIK there is no mechanism to artificially favor any particular view. There is only the thumbs up/down mechanism meaning what you see is what the userbase finds useful or amusing. It ain't that serious.
What do you look for when using this to decide where to move?
Looking at cities near me, I see things like "suburban kids trying to be urban", "we cute here", and "stroller mommies who brunch", alongside some racist stuff. I'm not sure how to use that information when making a life-changing decision like moving to a new city.
Same. I live in a poor neighborhood but it has two dope parks, a swimming pool, cool places. The map tells me I'll get murdered at the streets I cross literally every day and night
'dope park' might not be a clear term. I think you mean excellent parks, but my mind immediately went to parks where you might accidentally step on a hypodermic needle.
My town has both types of parks, with a little overlap in the venn diagram.
As an example of a more informative map of income/deprivation, I recently encountered the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation website (https://simd.scot). Only applicable to Scotland (obviously), but it is interesting to see how each city is a mosaic of social status. From personal experience, it is extremely accurate down to the street level!
Oh great. NextDoor was bad enough. Now we get a map version, where anyone can post their inchoate terror of people who don't conform exactly to their ideas of appearance or behavior.
I enjoyed the Cape Town categories. At least in my experience the :
'Students', 'Drunk student', 'Poor students', 'Karens on community whatsapp groups', 'newly weds and almost deads', 'Spoiled rich kids' are all pretty amusing and have a at least a hint of accuracy to them

Basically, OpenStreetMap meets 4chan.

I suppose I could put insults over the rich white parts, but why bother.
