@GrapheneOS they must have deleted the announcement where they said that. I can't find it (or I just suck at searching 
)
I genuinely hope they've stopped misrepresenting you now. Anyway, from my experience, they deleted all my comment, whether I named GOS or other privacy minded roms like Calyx or Iodé.
They treat everyone equally now it seems (publicly at least). I still think it's a shame they ban that kind of conversation
