I've been contributing to Google Maps for a while, specifically, I usually upload pictures of menu's from restaurants, so future visitors can see them before they decide to eat there! I'm trying to degoogle my life a bit & was wondering if there is a way I could contribute these to OSM?

Images are uoloaded to imgur. Not perfect, but it just works and is reliable.

All other data gets (generally) uploaded to OSM, except for reviews which go to mangrove.reviews

And there is some Wikipedia/Wikidata in the mix for some other pages too, but that is clearly attributed
