The directors of the the GrapheneOS Foundation and the other things you're talking about are public information. I stepped down as lead developer due to relentless harassment preventing me from being productive. The same people targeting me with harassment misrepresented what was happening. You shouldn't get info about GrapheneOS from Hacker News comments especially when multiple regulars here are part of the attacks on GrapheneOS. Hacker News permits people to freely engage in libel and harassment towards me on nearly every post about GrapheneOS.

I'm aware of what happened, and I'm getting GOS news directly, not from HN. However, you're still the biggest contributor of code to GOS (judging by commit history). That's what I meant.

        It's a little ironic Daniel rails on and on about how he's being targeted in a mass-harassment conspiracy against him and the project (usually by "the CalyxOS community", or his old CopperheadOS business partner guy), then.... freely levies a group of his own to mass-flag/downvote critics with the intent to silence them? "Every accusation is a confession" or something, I guess.

        The ongoing lies, bullying and harassment towards me is very real and you're directly participating in it. The reality which can be found through looking through actual content which hasn't been doctored is that joemazerino has engaged in years of lies and bullying towards me on Hacker News without moderators stepping up to end it. Ending this bullying showing up in every thread about GrapheneOS from the same small group of perpetrators is long overdue.

        So any criticism is "bullying" and you're justified in brigading threads to silence it? Many of the people with minor criticisms even use the project (such as myself), and going full nuclear to silence any dissidents is rarely looked favorably upon in hindsight.

        It's an outright fabrication with no basis. All you've done is posted a video filled with doctored content and fabricated claims from a serial harasser. Henry Fisher (Techlore) has been orchestrating harassment towards me for years. Basic research and critical thinking is all that's needed to debunk the content. The video shows someone engaging in blatant bullying through directing hate towards someone with lies while taking great pleasure in it.

  I'm not anywhere close to the biggest contributor of code to GrapheneOS. Do you think the account listed as the committer is the one writing it? That's not the author of the code, it's the account used to approve it.

    I see. So it's a Linus Torvalds kind of situation? That makes sense, thanks.

That is a pretty poor and disappointing reply to be honest. They asked a reasonable question and you barely even responded to anything they asked. The community deserves a response to the question. What with this new chapter, it might be better for someone else to handle PR and comms for the project (Signed, passionate GrapheneOS user of a few years)

    "nasty", "bulling", "harassment" ? Whatever. You seem to have a persecution complex. Ironically, baseless accusations of nastiness and harassment and weaponising language is also bullying. I'm out. Best of luck to the project, and to you personally.
