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 am relatively new as well. Someone asked for some clarification on an edit I made, and it turned out I had made a mistake.

In addition, if you leave notes, those may go without interaction for a long time. Although it is true that notes can be resolved without any further input from the original account.

I believe I could then use different usernames as long as I kept the original email addresses active.
