Just muted (and unfollowed) the #GrapheneOS account, because I keep getting more posts about constant badgering against other #FOSS projects than information about GrapheneOS itself. At some point I lost track which larger #FreeSoftware project based around #Android and #AOSP hasn't clashed with the "I backed down from my position but obviously didn't" GOS leadership yet.

While often making valid points pretty much anyone disagreeing with their posts or not "doing it the GrapheneOS way" is considered an enemy at this point and this has been going on for years. Even I have been accused of supporting the "attacks and misrepresentations" before because I have been participating in discussions with others "attacking the project". Pressuring individual persons into redacting or removing previous comments appears to be a common practice used by GrapheneOS representatives. This kind of stuff has been put up with for far too long. It's been going on for years and has been tolerated or ignored by many, me included.

Wouldn't be surprised if #Motorola will drop their hardware plans with GOS at some point down the road if the worst PR management I have ever seen keeps going on like this.🤦‍♂️

It's just blowing my mind how terrible the social media presence is being handled. Journalists and security experts such as @heiseonline and @kuketzblog should pay more attention to this and not turn a blind eye.

In guess the #RSS feed for new software releases will do just fine. Just too tired of this shit. I will keep using the system (for now) but I certainly don't enjoy promoting it. GrapheneOS is technically a fine project but their official PR management and communication is absolutely terrible and that certainly casts a long shadow over the project.

@cryptgoat I think you are right and I will do the same.
@cryptgoat yeah, like I understand their team is probably stretched thin and really frustrated with how they get treated by media and other AOSP projects, but it's just so exhausting to see all the time
@tarix29 I guess anyone who has been following GrapheneOS for years pretty much knows who is running that account so no surprises there.
@cryptgoat
Yeah, I unfollowed them 5min ago. 😏
Not sure about the RSS-feed though. I'll just install them when they arrive...
@cryptgoat did the same a few weeks ago. It's confusing to me how that social media presence is allowed to persist. What I'd love instead: posts on making the most of the OS. That would be useful.
@cryptgoat @heiseonline @kuketzblog Amen 🙏. I totaly agree with you on this point.

@cryptgoat @heiseonline @kuketzblog +1

Now, my timeline is almost empty.

@cryptgoat

You can also write them some constructive criticism and you will probably not be annoyed by them any more (because you will probably be blocked)

I genuinely hope that they realize that the way they handle social media does not do them any favors.
