There's a few reasons why I build Lokjo.
- I kept hearing shops in my area (Berlin) were bought up by corporates, given the choice to pay double/tripple rent or get out.
- People do support local shops but they're hard to find with corporate googlemaps.
- Most local shops have their own products for a NORMAL price, good quality, no slave-labour or dirty 'investments' behind it, just people doing what they love.
Give it a try if you like.

Quick question
would you not use a pro-european map just because it's not available as an app?

Today is World Book Day in the UK and Ireland.
Go find your bookstore and make them happy 😊
Here on our map, big chains are greyed out so you can focus on the real book-shops.
example: Dublin

When you're in a lazy weekend mood, go get some fastfood.
Forget the big delivery services. (they take a big cut from the place's profit)
Just check our map and type 'fastfood', select the top result and it will show you all places in your area.
example: Lyon, france.
https://www.lokjo.com/#m=15:45.75710:4.83806:s=051
This will give your local place the real profit, and you the fresh food. Guten apettit. 😊

Dutch shopping streets improved in sales last year.
Luckily, Lokjo also has a dutch language option, you know, in case you'd like to try it out for shopping on saturdays. 😉

Corporates:
'Our hyper scaling chocolate bars accelerate your status growth because they are shaped like bars and may contain chocolate. #Quality.'
Local companies:
'Have a chocolate bar, its our own recipe.'

Well look at that. The choice IS yours.
Go ahead, do some good shopping today in your neighborhood. 😊

If you favor normally/fair produced products, go check out your local street-market.
Outside of the regular veggies, people sell their own produced clothing, art, decoration things, or just darn good food. There's always something nice to find.

Before you buy on amazon, check if the product-company has their own website and order it there.
This way the shop gets the full price, and corporations have less investment.
Have a great weekend you all. 😊

https://mapstodon.space/@lokjo/114657821935053517
Can we have a lill boost please? The fediverse is the only place we're on.
We're a replacement for googlemaps.
European, non-commercial, pro-local.
Thanks for sharing 😊

Here's how the filter works which sorts out corporations/chains from the search-results on our map:
Per category a list is generated from all locations in various big cities. When a certain name shows up an x amount of times it get's a 'mention'.
Then, all mentions are checked manually to see if it's actually a company and not something like 'bakery' or 'shoes' etc. If it's valid it get's added to the list.
There, that's the magic under the hood. Pretty basic. 😊

Today is independend bookstore day.
On our map you can search for bookstores, and they will all be shown, regardless of zoomlevel.
This is what Lokjo is all about, showing non-corporate stores. Because -in contrast with big corporations- they actually DO support everybody's economy.
Example: Birmingham

Thanks so much for all your sharing of our yesterday's post
https://mapstodon.space/@lokjo/114365511908837606
We made it to the Explore tab, and -being a competitor of big media- I don't think we could've done this on corporate social media.
Keep it going and have a great eastern!

Here's 2 phone brands from europe (yes, they exist!) Did you know them?
They're both ethical and -most importantly- modular! Which means when you break something you just order a new part and replace it.
Super easy. 😊
