I recently got a Pixel and installed GrapheneOS on it. I would like to add some places to the map. Is there anything I need to know regarding preserving my privacy while contributing?
Thank you for any advice.
I like contributing with StreetComplete on mobile. You could look into what kind of data it sends along with your contribution :)
@Cheradenine If needed, you could try to find someone living elsewhere and share an account
As others have said, you can probably best keep anonymous by setting up an account separate from any other online identity. You can help contribute to random areas, and a lot of people do. Of course it is more valuable to you and to the community to edit near where you live, but yes, there is a certain amount of ability to identify someone’s locality based on their edits.
I’m very privacy conscious so I’m careful what I ask/share in this and other online spaces so that it would be difficult to connect.

if you don’t want to use the default photo app that leaks information, open camera would help with your notes

I understand that, but in what way? I know I need to sign up, but I will be using a screen name. Is there anything that would tie me to edits, assuming I upload them randomly?
