I personally like it, although it is good to check what the optimal place of the stations is. It should be both benefitial to the North of Germany and the North of the Netherlands, and connect as many people in that area. So maybe you'd need an additional station near Oldenberg or Bremen to not skip over too much of east Germany.

If you also place a High speed line south from Amsterdam-Essen-(further south like) and Essen-Hanover-Hamburg, you have most of that area covered.

But my guess is that they'd build an Amsterdam-Hanover-Berlin line, especially when they don't plan ahead.

At somepoint probably yeah. Unfortunately, it does seem that Amsterdam-Berlin seems to be pushed for a lot, and I fear for that poor decision fucking up the rest of the raillines.

An Amsterdam-hamburg-berlin line makes more sense imo, especially when you push it more towards the north as it doesn't cut the countries in half. It also gives you possibility to expand both north towards scandanavia, which you can extend further south to the rest of europe, or eastern europe through berlin.

But I doubt that will happen, because that is a bit slower than through hanover

It's not like this initiative disallows you from building other high speed rail connections.

It does though, raillines cost money and money is finite.

When you build poorly planned highspeed lines any new line you want to build after that is going to be underutilized. Underutilized raillines will be (and have been) scrapped, which makes certain areas even less reachable by train

I think a Rome-Berlin line makes somewhat sense, due to the south-west - north-east coverage you get. But Amsterdam-Berlin does nothing more than isolating the North of both the Netherlands and Germany even further

I do have quite a laundry list of remarks for Lemmy too. The bugginess and lack of features is understandable. But it is quite centralized and I see a future where it will be more centralized the more users will join due to a bit of a fundemental flaw of federation.

Maybe these problems will be fixable. I hope so, because I think it is a really cool concept. But I am not sure if I agree with the execution of it. I would love to contribute to this project if these problems are fixable.

Well, looking at all the comments in this post, not everyone agrees with that. i do think the Apollo dev is a king in how he has handled everything though

You don't have to care, nor do I care

There are a multitude of reasons for making the API paid or rate limited, I don't think the CEO went with the right approach. But it was due time at some point

[-] druppel@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

Ask the CEO, not me 😂 I'd have approached it differenly

I picked my regional one (technically also better for latency)
