That trai_dep dictator on both the privacy subreddits angered me so much I took up the task myself to create a non bigot and non cult privacy community alternative. He pissed me off. My blood boils everyday because of what he and those flourishing anti-privacy cults do to privacy communities.

You do not only jump to conclusions, you attack them because of things they did not do, “look on how many followers of yours engage in this behaviour”.

False logic. I attack their arguments, and if the people engage into a behaviour as a groupthink cult, they will be called out.

Also, closed source does not mean unauditable. Why do you think Universal Android Debloater exists? Because experienced people can monitor what the programs are doing. Have you heard of mitmproxy?

Anyone who unironically says “muh mitm it” everytime, it is a nice proof of that they themself never did it. Closed source means unauditable, you anti FOSS shill. Also, I can use Wireshark, and read manifest and classes of apps.

I fully trust GrapheneOS, and I find myself offended by this because thanks to people as stubborn as you, GrapheneOS is getting a bad reputation with no reason at all.

I do not care. Just about all GrapheneOS users are absolute assholes because I have been in their communities for a good amount of a year across various platforms. They are toxic, believe in spreading propaganda, preaching anti FOSS garbage and even going around with their politics of hating other genders or races of people.

Also, one moderator does not represent the entire organization. There may as well be rude staff ─ one of the reasons why CopperheadOS (GOS’s ancestor) split was because of corruption among the staff, with the company today known as Copperhead being what is left of the corrupted staff.

I wonder where did I mention madaidan or cn3m… I did not. You are caught. Game over.

Snowden also praised Signal recently. Now we have closed source servers since a year. I wonder what he has to say today about the anti federation anti transparent Moxie going around deleting critic GitHub threads. He may be an expert on OS and security, but probably does not know what its users and key participants go around promoting. He definitely does not know everything and is not a God.

threat model

Snowden has an entirely different OPSEC than bunch of you LARPers. I hope you can understand that. He takes a bunch of different steps IRL and virtually, and lives a different life than you or even I do.

I am threatened by keyboard warriors with death threats. I have been trolled in horrific ways. People call me XYZ shill and even report me for Suicide Prevention care on reddit. Because of these things I have kept my identity anonymous.

What problems do you face? And what problems does Snowden face compared to me? He lives in Russia, arch enemy country of USA for a reason. USA will take no moment in snipering him out or bombing his place using a drone missile.

There is no way you could compare GrapheneOS with Apple and Google privacy-wise. It is absolutely frustrating for me to think somebody would do such a thing.

If you have problems with what others think, and want to do think policing, you need to go to a hospital ASAP.

Whatever you have spoken is exactly on the lines of what GrapheneOS group dictates its users, to spread promotional propaganda and do it in a sublime manner.

Brave is cryptominer spying malware that is using privacy as a marketing tool the same way as Big Tech giants do.

Minimalism is an extreme end, and misses the nuances of the more feature rich bloated computing of today. Therefore it is not a perfect approach by design.

Living a private life is pretty hard in a sedentary city culture today, which is where and why the other giant privacy communities on reddit and elsewhere failed. They cannot even teach OPSEC, which I do. They cannot teach minimalism, which I do. They do not teach simple living, which I do. Many nuances that I have a grip on, unlike most others.
