/e/ and Murena have been been promoting their products by misleading people about GrapheneOS for years. This has turned into an all out war on GrapheneOS by their company and supporters. We began regularly debunking their inaccurate claims and they try to frame it as aggression.

@GrapheneOS It's great you're taking time to clear up factually incorrect claims, whether they're made out of maliciousness or naivety. Constructive community engagement is great!

But please, for the love of god, this information only belongs A) in the threads where factually incorrect claims are being made and B) on your website in the FAQ section.

I know it's not intuitive, but pushing conflict into everyone's face again and again makes your project seem *less* trustworthy, not more.

@tastyraspberry Replies to articles and posts are seen by far fewer than the original. The authors of these can also stop us from replying to them. It doesn't do much to address it and isn't an adequate approach. Our timeline reaches far more people and does far more to address these claims. They're posting about it in their main timelines and reaching large audiences of people who are being misled. Our users and supporters can post more about GrapheneOS and help defend the project too.

@tastyraspberry Our posts are having the intended effect of addressing the inaccurate claims. We're aware it results in /e/ and Murena doubling down on attacks. We're also aware that it results in their supporters doubling down on attacks. These will be addressed with additional posts. They're on a sinking ship and they're misleading people about GrapheneOS far more desperately than they ever have before because of it. They do not have substance and they're losing the more they do this.

I.. don't know if attempting to fight fire with fire is a reasonable investment of the team's time. It's not your goal to find every instance of a false claim to debunk it, right?

@GrapheneOS Most other organizations (Wikipedia, Signal..) respond to FUD or backlash by making a blog post. This is then shared by the org a few times on their socials, and community members will of course also use it to counter FUD/backlash in the relevant threads.

@GrapheneOS If you must reply to individual threads yourself, you could probably save lots of time by having an evergreen section on your website dedicated to debunking FUD and just linking to that. There's little point in formulating individual responses on very similar topics repeatedly. Either a person is open to look at new information without prejudice, or they're not.

You have more important work to do.. and you know it :P

Not trying to be harsh, I want you guys to succeed!

@tastyraspberry This is a microblogging platform. These are how we publish this form of content. We post longer form content as long posts on our forum where people can respond on the forum and we cross-post them here. We fully intend to do that as part of addressing this situation too.

@GrapheneOS @tastyraspberry i think micro is the keyword here that's being missed
