@GrapheneOS, what strong objections do the mods of /r/privacy have towards GrapheneOS? Have they not reached out to you or explained themselves in any way?

At least /r/privacyguides covers GrapheneOS well...

@GrapheneOS, have you reached out to /r/privacy to discuss this kind of censorship?
There are at least a dozen people spending at least several hours attacking GrapheneOS across platforms on a daily basis. It's a very strange situation. How do these people have so much time and dedication to keep making posts across platforms attacking us? It's relentless.

Is mijn data wel veilig? Is mijn gemeente digitaal toegankelijk? Deze vragen zijn in de lokale politiek net zo belangrijk als in Den Haag. Stem lokaal op digitaal! Stem 18 maart op mensen met digitaal verstand. Kijk voor nerds in jouw gemeente in deze lijst πŸ‘‰πŸ» https://netwerkdigitalesamenleving.groenlinks.nl/agenda/gemeenteraad-2026 #nerdvote

Gisteren informeerden we leden van de Tweede Kamer tijdens een rondetafelgesprek over de werking van aanbevelingsalgoritmen op sociale media en de gevolgen daarvan op onze samenleving. Een belangrijk onderwerp, want onze democratie is afhankelijk van een gezond publiek debat, zeker rond de verkiezingen, en dat wordt nu verstoord door grote online platformen.

#Heliboard is gathering gesture typing data, so that we can implement a #FOSS alternative to the closed gesture typing library Heliboard currently relies on. The data we collect will be released under the CC BY-SA 4.0

I also made a video including details & instructions.

Boosts Please! The greater the diversity of people & languages in the data, the better we can test for correctness.
