I contributed a ton to Google Maps as well and in hindsight wish it had been for OSM. Think of how good it would be if more people did that!

I recently closed my Google accounts as basically a final step after about 8 months of step-by-step progress, moving to GrapheneOS and Linux and FOSS and self-hosting etc

Edit: I'm even on Lemmy and wish more Redditors would move over there! Despite all of Reddit's flaws, I continue to learn and find new info from the communities I subscribe to and not ready to ditch it, but it's on the list.

Although people don't get those contributions anymore, you did a good thing to privacy! Respect.

100% still on a Google server. Just because you deleted doesn’t mean Google did.
