       @kevinbowen There is no belligerent fediverse presence as the article claims, would you say that a project that defends itself against harassment and regular attacks is belligerent behavior ? the article also seems to fixate on the founder, there's nothing paranoid or reactionary about it either, @GrapheneOS works perfectly in the field, the project is reliable, and their communication is in truth professional is more detailed and explicit than what we see mostly elsewhere, but many projects see GOS as a threat and want to destroy it, the article on LWN isn't bad, it's actually better than most others articles, unfortunately, it still contains inaccuracies and also oddities, it would have been wise to correct the original article, rather than simply letting the GrapheneOS community manager create his own publication with corrections that many probably won't read, I don't agree with this policy of not editing articles on LWM.The correction of the original article : https://lwn.net/Articles/1031454/

       I've run grapheneOS for a couple years now. Its great. Only in the last few months have I seen the post exchanges that I find a bit worrisome. And I didn't realize grapheneOS had a single developer! Its a big project! Kudos. I didn't see "belligerence". And everything I saw was in fact self defense and not unreasonable. But when you're arguing with someone who simply dislikes you or your project, often for irrational or uninformed reasons, continuing to argue with them (1) does not work, (2) the never ending sealioning and whatsbouts are maddening, and would make anyone lose patience (3) responding to idiots induces ras h replies. But overall arguing with fools, after a dozen go-rounds, it's hard to tell one from another. When I encounter one of those fixed in place arguers, I state, nicely or meanly depending how I feel about their intent, and drop it. They'll get the last word. Let them. People trading the thread will see that there was no point in continuing. NOT finding some way to end a clearly non productive argument reflects badly on you.  OMFG ive done that so many times!! I'm no model for clarity. But I've learned to just drop it.The thing with cranks and assholes is, you're likely not their only target. They're probably miserable people. Just drop them. @Xtreix @kevinbowen @GrapheneOS

       @tomjennings @kevinbowen @GrapheneOS "And I didn't realize grapheneOS had a single developer!"I don't know where you read this information, but that's not the case. If I remember correctly, GrapheneOS has 10 full-time and part-time developers (I'm not sure of the exact number so correct me if i'm wrong). GrapheneOS is not Daniel Micay's solo project. It started out as a solo project, but it has long been a team hard work.I advise you to follow official sources rather than random ones.https://grapheneos.org/history/https://github.com/orgs/GrapheneOS/peopleI agree with you that discussions with malicious people are very complicated and often do not lead to reasonable agreements. People who really want to harm you will continue to do so. That said, defending the project is always useful and must be done. This is done to dispel the misinformation that exists about GrapheneOS for newcomers, and I feel that it is yielding results, as the number of users continues to grow.As the saying goes, one day, lies will pay their debt to the truth.

       @tomjennings @Xtreix @kevinbowen > And I didn't realize grapheneOS had a single developer! Its a big project! Kudos. GrapheneOS has around 10 developers paid to work on it, over half of those full time.There's a substantial effort to target our founder with harassment based on fabricated stories. Part of that is misrepresenting his involvement and falsely claiming other more active developers don't exist or are somehow secretly him with multiple identifies. It's a ridiculous fantasy.

       @XtreixOh ok 10 developers makes a lot more sense. I'll edit and remove from my post.  @kevinbowen @GrapheneOS

       @kevinbowen Pixel 7a. Some minor initial setup issues I forget, but once solved, gone. No regrets and I'll do it again.
