      Mention VPNs are forbidden due to spam and stuff, GrapheneOS mention forbidden because of drama

      2nd part, community recommend too often just extrem stuff, not seeing that someone just moved away from Google or iOS or whatever big data service

        Defeats the whole purpose of the subreddit, it’s like saying you’re not allowed to talk about yellow in a community about colours…

          At least one of the devs is an arrogant, condescending prick. Remember Nick the Computer Guy from SNL? He’s like 3 times worse than that. I’ve experienced it first hand - as in his second reply to me was to blame me: “you’re doing it wrong”. He’s exactly like some people I worked with 30 years ago. Smh.

          There’s far more than that, though. In general, the Graphene team says everyone else is wrong. Classic idealist attitude.

          I run DivestOS now because of that interaction, I will never use Graphene. That dev can go fuck himself with a pineapple - had enough of his kind of childishness decades ago.

            Having had a disagreement with Miguel De Icaza that boiled down to him saying “Well I have these books on my shelf so I’m right” (narrator: he wasn’t right, it was hilarious later).

            I will never, ever touch Gnome. I get it.

          High level summary: A bunch of nerds got into a slapfight about who’s project is less secure, or who’s project is run by the feds. Some guys got doxxed or swatted, a few stepped away from their projects and left social media, and that’s about where we are today. It’s largely a bunch of clout-chasing nonsense.
