@Edent@mastodon.social since Smithereen is a Facebook/VK clone, I'm contemplating adding profile fields for schools, universities and such. The problem is, there needs to be a database of these institutions (and cities) with globally stable IDs. I'm still not sure which one I'll be using. Foursquare published theirs a while ago under a permissive license, then there's also OSM data which needs attribution but I can live with that. I'm open to suggestions on this.
