The e-scooter apps I’ve used do require you to take a photo in the app. Probably so they can ban you if you suck. Where I live, I’m fortunate enough for there to be designated scooter parking in some places. They essentially take a car street parking spot, put posts around it, and label it. Really cleans up the area.

If you aren’t somewhere that has a spot like that, most of the time I just park on the city side of the grass. Off walkways, and the worst that can happen is some dead city grass. I couldn’t imagine attempting to slide one into a bike rack.
