It's a very strange situation. How do these people have so much time and dedication to keep making posts across platforms attacking us? It's relentless.

So please do not assume that I am a member of the GrapheneOS team, thank you.

You folks are misrepresenting public statements by GrapheneOS and warping what was said into a gotcha. Why would we give you more so that you can add another sentence to the article continuing the attempt at misrepresenting what happened as a gotcha? Why would we help you justify including it in the first place? We know what you're doing.

We have the original repositories created prior to 2018 with several dating back to 2014 and 2015. GrapheneOS was created prior to the Copperhead company and ownership or control of the project was explicitly never turned over to the company. There was a clear agreement between the open source project and the company that it remained independent. This is why Copperhead's legal attacks on us failed.

GrapheneOS (@GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social)

GrapheneOS started in 2014 and was originally named CopperheadOS. In late 2015, the Copperhead company was founded which was meant to support the project. Copperhead didn't create CopperheadOS and didn't own or control it. Copperhead made a failed takeover attempt on it in 2018.

They're not particularly hostile towards us specifically. We know of multiple companies directly involved in it especially since they directly use their project and personal accounts for it to wield their supporters as a weapon.

But this part, Cyanogen already have a license that makes it possible to fork, just fork old repo. And Idk much of the history of GrapheneOS. So it's direct successor aka. fork?

Citing possible departure over CopperheadOS since the fight over rights. Probably also considering previous work were licensed as CC making it hard to be forked. Then later renamed as GrapheneOS or such.

Any approach which leads to this happening is awful. Misrepresenting primary sources to try to make a gotcha attack on GrapheneOS by twisting what was said is somehow fine but verifiable facts debunking the false narratives presented as a history of GrapheneOS are ignored. Wikipedia thoroughly fails to defend against astroturfing and trolls.

It's quite clear from the content of the posts that he wasn't leaving the project but rather stepping away from demanding roles due to stress. Nowhere is it implied that he was leaving the project or permanently leaving as a director. That narrative comes from people engaging in harassment and they've been editing the article including linking harassment content in it.

People involved in the harassment towards him have been involved in editing the article. That's why the article is citing his posts about harassment while leaving out the fact that it was about harassment. That's why it's trying to present something as a gotcha which isn't at all. Those posts did not say or imply that he permanently stepped down as a director.

Why is the article talking about it in the first place? What makes it notable when you cannot find any secondary source about it?

We're well aware that Wikipedia editors simply interpret the rules how they want to achieve the end results they want and that there are extreme double standards applied everywhere including here. It's not honest or acceptable.

So carefully, in fact, that I unfortunately won't be able to reply for a few hours. This is a very interesting rabbit hole and I do want to see where this conversation leads.

You can't actually justify that, especially when it's warping what was said by leaving out the context. Why is harassment not mentioned when the topic of the posts was harassment and a plan for dealing with it? The plan was revised a few more times prior to official announcements about the actual concrete details...

It's citing a personal account and misinterpreting what it says. If the content cannot be sourced from a reliable secondary source, it should be removed. It's an incredibly biased interpretation of a primary source. How does that qualify as something notable if you can't find any secondary source saying what it does, but yet you would remove factual information about GrapheneOS without one?
