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.

You know? I’ve been wanting to start journaling for years now, but have used work and responsibilities as an excuse to put it off. That’s entirely on me, and seems like you mentioning it was the call out I needed to remove the BS excuses. I’ll start in Joplin since I already have it, but if you have any suggestions on apps I can use on mobile and Linux, that’ll help a lot (after all, I know you KNOW about apps that work great).
Just added the podcast to my AntennaPod, thanks you.

Know what? I’m going to do it. I fell into the bad habit of having everything done with a keyboard, and feel that I have absolutely no skill left to use pens and pencils, but it’s about time to make the effort and retrain my brain on it. Thanks bro, this is a great incentive too.
