@projetslibres_podcast @Framasoft The claims made about GrapheneOS in this interview are extremely inaccurate. It heavily misrepresents the purpose of GrapheneOS and what we've worked on for years. The claim GrapheneOS is a security project rather than a privacy project is misinformation. Contacts are specifically brought up and yet our Contact Scopes feature is ignored. @fla knows GrapheneOS is a privacy project. He replied to a thread with our response to this misinformation only 4 days ago...

@GrapheneOS And you really think that a thread on a niche microblogging platform helps promoting your product and vision? Don't you have a homepage to put your beef on which you could link instead of filling the timeline of your followers?

I'm interested in GrapheneOS, not whatever beef you have with others.

It's hard enough for every alternative OS to find people to use it. It's even harder when those alternatives are fighting against each other. Also I don't care who started it and who's right. This is not a childrens sandbox and you are not five years old. Get your shit together, make a statement on your website, post that statement and move on.

Maximizing users at all costs is not the goal. These OSs are not alternatives to GOS and do not compare in the slightest. Why is it you turn a blind eye to scams committing crimes against GOS, and thats not called fighting, but GOS defending themselves is?

"Also I don't care who started it and who's right."
I mean, do I even need to comment on this? Seems pretty clear how disgusting this is to say.

This is not a childrens sandbox, and you are in no position to talk down to them like some parental figure. This is real, and your apathy to their adversity is disappointing.

@HybridStaticAnimate A better comparison would be a marketing channel fighting with another marketing channel while people expected other content on that channel. The cause is valid, but are constant posts here the best way to react? It feels like watching two youtube channels fighting with each other. Where are the articles on the homepage correcting everything, which could stay online and be linked from here?

Its not a better comparison, the official GrapheneOS accounts are not marketing and are not intended for marketing. Defending wont stop until the attacks stop. And yet I notice a distinct lack of criticism aimed at the agressors.

Mastodon has a tiny character limit so GOS has to break up the posts. Its easier to cram nonsense into one post than it is to properly refute it. The website isnt for this purpose.

@HybridStaticAnimate The "lack of criticism" aimed at the aggressors in my case results in not buying or using their products. I don't need every detail to come to this conclusion, just the information, that they say secure devices are only for pedos, criminals and spies. This is the talking of german right wing parties like CDU and AfD, which I won't tolerate.
