Has amyone seen this?

It's a worldwide map of people (smiley faces) who have left Mormonism and if you click on a face, their reason for leaving pops up. I enjoyed reading some of the Spanish ones (I served a mission in Guatemala). Weirdly, none of the European ones I quickly read were in a foreign language.
Anyway, thought I'd share.

I put my mark on the map a couple of years ago. I check back in occasionally hoping to see another ward member plant their flag. Nothing yet, but I'm patient.

Someone who is in my old ward boundaries (last place I would know anyone from church) put one up, but there is no way to know who it is. It could be anyone of ten or so houses, and no way to know if they are the angry exmo who lived next door to us either.

Just added mine... doubt anyone will ever see it, but it's now there. Amazingly enough there are two nearby - both from 2016... I'm in Illinois so far from the heavily Mormon areas. One of them just says "brutally boring" for the reason.

So, let’s say that hypothetically someone added a pin but accidentally marked the wrong house. Ya, I’m that dumbass. I couldn’t find a way to move it or delete it. Anyone know? I do know the people in the house I tagged and they are as TBM as you can imagine. They would be mortified to know this tag was there.
Any thoughts as to how to fix or a contact link?

I don't think there's a way - but they do say you can pin another place. Someone else in my household had already pinned our place, so I pinned nearby.
