    GrapheneOS is very open to criticism. What is often called criticism, however, is not. It is often used as an excuse to abuse others.

    @HybridStaticAnimate @betterlife @kuketzblog I did not criticise or such, I asked a question being a non techie and non developer.
    And I have the impression, that they call much more “criticism” than I do. And if I read around, than many others do.

      @HybridStaticAnimate Most toots on the official account are a mixture of paranoia and hatred for other Android distributions.

      Apparently GrapheneOS team members are constantly attacked, swatted, harassed. A worldwide conspiracy against GOS. Then I saw that Louis Rossmann video: He had a little bit of legitimate criticism on GOS and GOS went mad, complained about his „harassment campaign“.

      We have a word for this: paranoia.

      No, they arent. They dont "hate" anyone and they arent paranoid. If you read the posts, you will see they also provide evidence of their claims. They speak neutrally and objectively. If they werent being attacked, they wouldnt talk about being attacked.

      And yes, the team members being swatted, attacked, harassed, is all accurate. I wouldnt say its a world wide conspiracy. Its often done in the open and is done by multiple groups.

      The Rossmann video is blatantly an attack. Taking advantage of someone in distress and airing them live. The responsible thing to do was raise the issue privately and GrapheneOS did. The responsible thing to do was also to keep it private and not stream it live and completely misrepresent their statements.

      The issues with Rossmann were far more than "a single comment", and this doesnt even touch upon Rossmann lying to his own viewers for months after the ordeal.

      We have a word for this; crime. Its numerous crimes being committed. Verifiably.

        @tjr22 Oh yes, but so many people use "criticism" as a cover up. GOS is very honest about their shortcomings. But its so easy to mistake attacks as criticism so its commonly used by attackers to confuse observers.

            Das kann ich bestens nachvollziehen 👍

            Auch bedauere ich immer noch den Wechsel von CalyxOS zu GOS, wobei das auch mit der fortschreitenden enshittification von Android zu tun hat.

            Einen Beitrag dazu fände ich übrigens auch sehr wertvoll 🙏

            Seit A16 ist die Zugänglichkeit und Verschachtelung von Einstellungen weiter verschlechtert. BT Audio mit älteren Geräten ist nun nervenaufreibend. Und gar nicht erst zu reden von dem bevorstehenden crackdown bei app-devs und sideloading. Und der Akku hält bei mir mit A16 GOS enorm kürzer bei gleichem App und Nutzerprofil wie zuvor A15 mit Calyx. max 1d vs 1,5-2d.

            The sideloading limitations google are imposing will not affect GrapheneOS. GrapheneOS will continue to allow sideloading as it does now.

              @kuketzblog Ich bin dort tatsächlich seit Jahren geblockt, nachdem ich mich hier im Fediverse mal positiv zu CalyxOS auf meinem Fairphone 4 (das übrigens gar nicht von GrapheneOS unterstützt wird) geäußert hatte. Das endete in wüsten Beschimpfungen seitens Daniel Micay, in denen er mich u.a. als "dishonest charlatan" bezeichnete und dann noch Drohungen gegen mich ausgesprochen hat. Von solchen Menschen möchte ich keine Software auf meinen Geräten haben.

              The project accounts are managed by multiple people and nobody threatened you.

              Why are you trying to attack someone specific? Why are you attacking anyone at all?

                I don't see shortcomings in terms of quality and security or the project itself.

                I see shortcomings in communication.

                As you proved here: https://infosec.exchange/@HybridStaticAnimate/116390839545742939

                Funny sidenote: I had someone posting almost the exact wording you used on the official GOS account as I "critised" GOS by not critising them at all.

                Same here: Mike didn't critise the project. Just the communication on their Mastodon account. And poof, someone with 0 posts comes out of nowhere and implies "misinformation" and "hateful content".

                  @kuketzblog Es bleibt ja leider auch oft nicht bei den Seitenhieben, sondern wenn man GrapheneOS für deren Kommunikation kritisiert, wird man gleich bezichtigt, Teil einer "harassment"-Kampagne zu sein. Ich wurde nach einer kurzen Diskussion auch letztens geblockt. Wirklich merkwürdiges Verhalten.

                  As much as I appreciate #GrapheneOS as a project and as my daily driver for the past years I have to say that the team behind it has a severe problem of being paranoid and toxic towards their own community. I got blocked for simply asking a quastion and stating the obvious. https://bsky.app/profile/dataprolet.bsky.social/post/3mhynyplgas2u [contains quote post or other embedded content]

                    Ich bin dem offiziellen GrapheneOS-Konto gerade entfolgt – nicht, weil ich das Projekt nicht schätze. Im Gegenteil: GrapheneOS ist im Bereich mobiler Sicherheit/Privacy weiterhin die beste Option.

                    Was mich stört, sind die ständigen Seitenhiebe auf /e/OS, CalyxOS und andere Custom-ROMs - auch wenn die Kritik völlig legitim ist. Aber ich folge dem Account, um etwas über GrapheneOS zu lesen, nicht um regelmäßig zu erfahren, was andere in den Sand setzen. Wer ein starkes Projekt hat, sollte es für sich sprechen lassen.

                    Ein Grund Graphene (nicht der Hauptgrund) nicht zu nutzen; diese Besserwisserei und diese Arroganz sind ermüdend. Ständig nur zu lesen, dass alle andere custom ROMs shit sind und die eigene das Maß aller Dinge ist, bockt nicht wirklich und hilft keinem. Viele Leute in deren community sind extrem toxisch und null kritikfähig. Statt sich für eine starke custom ROM community einzusetzen und mit vereinten Kräften gegen den Datenkapitalismus und die Totalüberwachung zu kämpen, wir alles andere als minderwertig abgestempelt. Und das dann in Verbindung mit einem Smartphone aus dem Hause Google? Nein, danke!

                        @a53bdb Yes, some projects focus on privacy first. And GOS criticizes them for being not as secure as GOS.

                        Personally, I care more about privacy. I want a builtin firewall which blocks access to tracking APIs for app downloaded from PlayStore. GrapheneOS does not have that … GOS is for my needs less private than Calyx.

                          @HybridStaticAnimate @norbert @kuketzblog Perhaps it is this style of responses that would benefit from reflection in the context of the starting posting in this thread.

                          You go directly from negating someone's subjective (parts are even objective) experience to attacking them to make your point.

                          Even if you were/are right, that's not a mode that's going to strengthen empathy with your position.

                              @HybridStaticAnimate @betterlife @kuketzblog Uff, English is not my native language, so I may have screwed up. I am not a techie. I am old. I am German. Hence I am interested in privacy and security, but I have no clue about programming or ssl oder so. When I started my journey and heard about GOS I went to their forum and tried to learn and asked questions. And when i got answers I did not understand, I asked why e or calyx or others say differently. I got blamed for that

                                  I appreciate you clarifying that your issue does not lie with GrapheneOS, and that you just wish to see GrapheneOS related posts.

                                  But GrapheneOS does not make "digs" at other projects (assuming the translation software translated it correctly).

                                  This post was incredibly irresponsible to make. The primary thing it seems to be accomplishing is spreading misinformation and hateful content in the replies. I implore you to reconsider having this post up.

                                  @HybridStaticAnimate @kuketzblog I'd sincerely urge you and the team to find someone you trust has your best interests at heart and feel safe with to provide you feedback on how the communication style is externally perceived.

                                  I assume all of us in this thread sharing the same impression and arriving at similar conclusions are just part of an irresponsible harassment campaign. Is that statistically likely?

                                    The project accounts are managed by multiple people and nobody threatened you.

                                    Why are you trying to attack someone specific? Why are you attacking anyone at all?

                                    @HybridStaticAnimate I am not attacking anyone. Daniel attacked me from his personal account.

                                      Ich bin dem offiziellen GrapheneOS-Konto gerade entfolgt – nicht, weil ich das Projekt nicht schätze. Im Gegenteil: GrapheneOS ist im Bereich mobiler Sicherheit/Privacy weiterhin die beste Option.

                                      Was mich stört, sind die ständigen Seitenhiebe auf /e/OS, CalyxOS und andere Custom-ROMs - auch wenn die Kritik völlig legitim ist. Aber ich folge dem Account, um etwas über GrapheneOS zu lesen, nicht um regelmäßig zu erfahren, was andere in den Sand setzen. Wer ein starkes Projekt hat, sollte es für sich sprechen lassen.

                                      Ich kann den Ärger von #grapheneos nachvollziehen.

                                      Der Chef von Morena und e wirft ihnen offen vor, ein Pädophilen-Produkt zu entwickeln und zu vertreiben.

Duval and his organizations have consistently taken a stance against protecting users from exploits. In this video, he once again claims protecting against exploits is only useful for pedophiles and spies.

                                      Das ist auf vielen Ebenen - für 'die Sache' wie auch für GrapheneOS - bodenlos scheiße.

                                      Gegenwehr halte ich hier für angebracht.

                                        @HybridStaticAnimate @betterlife @kuketzblog Uff, English is not my native language, so I may have screwed up. I am not a techie. I am old. I am German. Hence I am interested in privacy and security, but I have no clue about programming or ssl oder so. When I started my journey and heard about GOS I went to their forum and tried to learn and asked questions. And when i got answers I did not understand, I asked why e or calyx or others say differently. I got blamed for that

                                        Im sorry you had that experience. People who act elitist are warned and/or banned, since everyone has to start somewhere and using GOS does not entitle anyone to act above others.

                                          @kuketzblog Verständlich. Warum gegeneinander, statt gemeinsam für eine bessere (IT-)Welt?
