GrapheneOS community has groups setup to mass flag and report posts they don't like. See examples from Techlore's video [VIDEO]

I use GrapheneOS, and I've donated to its development. To say that "None of the claims are true" and that they are "baseless" is incorrect. Louis Rossman was a supporter of the project until he and Daniel had a failing out in which Daniel behaved inappropriately [1], all over a Youtube comment. There's proof for that and other claims [2, 4, 5]. Daniel can be a talented developer, privacy advocate and asshole at the same time. It's sad to see him (and others, like yourself) say stuff like "examine the baseless claims", without providing any sources. After all the drama with Calyxos, Techlore, Louis Rossmann etc, at some point one has to notice a pattern of behavior. 1: [LINK] 2: [VIDEO] 3: [LINK] 4: [LINK] 5: [LINK]

I'd never heard of GrapheneOS till 15 minutes ago. I couldn't understand why someone would randomly start swatting an OSS project maintainer.. googling around a bit lead me to this Louis Rossmann video: [LINK] Also this: [VIDEO] Yikes. Hope this Daniel guy can get some help and find some peace, poor dude seems incredibly unstable. :(
