We're now hosting our own Mastodon instance at https://grapheneos.social/ and we'll be moving to @GrapheneOS from this account.

Our server has closed registration and will only be used for official GrapheneOS accounts along with accounts for our project members. It's the same approach we take for our Matrix and email servers.

The remaining setup work will be porting over our age-encrypted cloud backup scripts, improving the sample Mastodon nginx configuration we merged with our standard baseline configuration, tuning PostgreSQL for the instance and setting up localhost access control via nftables which is currently missing.

Donations are appreciated to help cover the cost of this new infrastructure along with the time spent setting it up and maintaining it going forward:

@oliver_m @kuketzblog We haven't spread any misinformation. You've made repeated attacks on GrapheneOS including trying to misrepresent tweets from our lead developer. We looked into it and found more attacks from you elsewhere.

@oliver_m

You're welcome to retract your underhanded attacks on our project across platforms and apologize to the people you've attacked if you want to be unbanned. Doubling down on it will make it permanent.

@oliver_m Calyx presents it as their own project now and falsely claims to have created it. Not kicking out Steve as technically still have commit access doesn't change that they've taken it over and dramatically altered the direction/plans for the project rendering it unusable for where it was originally intended to be integrated.

@oliver_m @kuketzblog The point is that you are yet another toxic member of the CalyxOS community spreading misinformation about GrapheneOS, fabricated stories about our project members and engaging in bullying. You're following our accounts and lurking in our rooms just to find opportunities to harm our project with dishonest attacks.

@oros @librelenny It's very strange to reply to a question to us saying you use a different operating system. Any time someone mentions GrapheneOS, there's always someone to promote that non-hardened OS. We're not being rude by making it clear how dramatically different they are from each other.

@librelenny @oros

They're much different kinds of projects. GrapheneOS is a hardened OS with substantial privacy/security improvements and CalyxOS really ends up rolling those back with many misguided changes.

Both are based on AOSP, which doesn't include Google Play, but CalyxOS does use 5 Google services in the base OS by default and also has microG integrated with privileged capabilities unavailable to other apps.

GrapheneOS has https://grapheneos.org/install/web which is an even easier installation process and it has far broader app compatibility via the sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer if you choose to use apps depending on Google Play.

It's understandable that you think otherwise because unfortunately there are many people spreading misinformation about GrapheneOS. We're just trying to explain the differences clearly.

@oliver_m @kuketzblog Please note this person is involved in spreading misrepresentations and false claims about the GrapheneOS project and engaging in bullying targeting our project members. If they want to use a non-hardened OS which goes months without shipping half the standard security updates, that's their prerogative, but their dishonest attacks on our project are wrong.

@oliver_m Steve Soltys wrote the app as one of our users / community members for us to include in our project. It was based on the concept we laid out for it. What do you think is different about what's written there? Calyx started contributing to his project and then completely took it over. They ended up helping Copperhead in their attacks on us and engaging in far worse attacks than anything Copperhead did. You're linking to content from before we knew what they were doing. It's in no way inconsistent...

What's the relevance to this thread?

GrapheneOS is a hardened OS substantially improving privacy and security along with providing very broad app compatibility via the sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer.

CalyxOS is none of those things and doesn't provide their users with standard security patches for months at a time. It rolls back rather than improving security beyond that too.

GrapheneOS and CalyxOS are dramatically different kinds of projects. CalyxOS has much more in common with LineageOS.
