For those unfamiliar, GrapheneOS is a privacy and security enhanced custom ROM endorsed by Snowden. Despite these big names, plenty of people give it backlash

Even @TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml gives it backlash despite being a moderator of Lemmy’s biggest privacy community. A quote here: “grapheneOS trolls are downvoting every single post and comment of mine, and committing vote manipulation on Lemmy. They are using 5-6 accounts.” That was in response to downvotes on a comment posted in the c/WorldNews community, which is entirely unrelated to technology.

One of the reasons is that GrapheneOS can only be installed on Google Pixels due to security compatibility, which makes complete sense considering Android should be most compatible with Google’s own devices. GrapheneOS even lists the exact reasons they chose Pixels, and encourage people to step up and manufacture a different supported device.

One year ago, Louis Rossmann posted this video outlining his reasons for deleting GrapheneOS. Mainly, he had multiple bad experiences with Daniel Micay (the founder and main developer of GrapheneOS) which put his distrust in the GrapheneOS project. Since then, he has stepped down and will no longer be actively contributing to the project.

So, I am here to learn why exactly people still do not like GrapheneOS.

        Thats photographic proof of .ml selectively federating the modlog to do all sorts of dodgy things such as hiding who committed what actions and generally trying to hide mod/admin abuse.

            So .ml ia broken and nobody has fixed if for months now? U expect me to believe this bullshit. Also pretty sure the modlog doesnt include any posted link just a link to the post which should now no longer exist. The only reason I can imagine fucked shit would be in the modlog was if the .ml moderators where posting it in the summary field themselves.

                So I’m just taking a look at the API documentation here:

                I’m no genius or anything but to me this looks a whole lot like absolutely no content other than the moderator/admins message is being federated here so I see absolutely no reason why .ml refuses to federate these actions. Please explain how fucked content is being federated here cos its starting to sound like ur bullshitting reasons not to federate ur modlog.
