Hello everyone!

I like to improve OSM casually, making small fixes as I use the map in
my day-to-day life. However, doing so without any precautions would
reveal a great deal of information about where I've been, since my
edits cover exactly the places where I'm active. A look at my edit
history would reveal where I live, where I work, where I've traveled.
If last night I had added a detailed POI of a restaurant and nothing
else, one could correctly assume that I was at that restaurant
recently.

I've managed to protect my privacy somewhat by creating one account
for every neighbourhood I want to map. This is time consuming and
error prone, and it's held me back from making improvements to the
map.

Are there better ways to maintain some privacy while editing the map?
Are there some tools? Or is there a way to make edits in a way that
doesn't reveal my username to regular users?

Philippe
