@Morgan I saw that too. It's not clear in the verification process that this is the case. A payment profile is required in order to verify your identity, and the process of setting that up includes consenting to the full address being shown. Presumably this would only show my country if I don't enable payments, but that choice comes *after* your account is verified.
I agree that something like DNS privacy makes sense for this. It's disappointing that this isn't a consideration.
I've been updating it thru Obtainium, is it better to use the F-Droid build?

@johano I'm not familiar with Obtainium. It makes no difference to me where you get the app from, but the F-Droid repo is where I publish updates directly so that's the only one I can support/vouch for.
@Addison Obtanium is a program that helps install/update APKs directly from GitHub (and other) repos -- it's pretty neat

Ah, that's unfortunate. I can see how it would get built like that, there's one place in the UI to ask for consent and it would be complex to loop back to it later if/when you start accepting payments.
Ironically, Android has shown that fine-grained permissions are a good idea, and they'd be a big improvement here.
Rosy Crow no longer on Google Play — Google disabled my Play Store developer account because I didn't consent to publicly sharing my home address. I'm disappointed. Rosy Crow is now only available via F-Droid.
