First of all, to anyone downvoting my Comments about /e/ being a piece of shit, because…
-
they advertise themselves as degoogled, but instead let you connect to Google/Microsoft/etc services
-
replace all the propriatery not at all Secure Services from Google, with… Drumroll please… Propriatery and not at all Secure Services from themselves and actively encourage it.
-
They are For-profit
-
and being MORE out of date then even Fairphones stock roms.
… I told you so. Dm your Instance admin, pay them to send the DB entries of your Downvotes on a Thumb drive (or anything else from SSD to 3.5 inchHDD, depending on your preferences), and shove it up your rectum.
But a TL;DR:
/E/ is not Private. They just switch one bad comany to another one.
There was no bullying, this is a complete fabrication on the part of Daniel Micay (founder of GrapheneOS). Rossmann made several positive videos about GrapheneOS and encouraged his viewers to use it themselves. He later made one video where he explained why he was no longer comfortable using it after Micay went on an insanely unhinged Discord DMs rant accusing Rossmann of “attacking and abusing me and the project” after Rossman left a single comment on a Techlore video. What was this incredibly abusive and inflammatory comment?
“This is informative, and unfortunate.”
Rossmann said he no longer felt comfortable having GrapheneOS on his phone, considering Micay was the one developing it and now clearly held a grudge. I think that’s pretty reasonable and logical, but apparently it was so triggering for the GrapheneOS shills that to this day they continue push these entirely fake narratives about Rossmann being a “bully” and an “abuser”. All the DMs are in the video I linked, you can decide for yourself whether Micay is an unhinged lunatic or the Second Coming of Christ.
You’re skipping some very important facts here. Daniel was swatted 3 times around the time this all happened. The swatter even was in contact with the GrapheneOS team (not including me at the time) and even said that they were a Techlore fan. So when Rossmann commented on that video, which makes Daniel come off as a crazy person, Daniel was understandably upset. Again, Techlore video was already bad enough, swatting, then a “friendly” person with a large following makes that comment.
So what does Rossmann do? He makes a video while this is happening. What kind of person does that? He claimed that he was deleting GrapheneOS because he no longer trusted the OS, but that was a lie.
Saying something like this is completely inappropriate.
No I’m not. All the excuses about “swatting”, “autism” and everything else are in the Rossmann video I linked above. The way Micay behaved based on that single YouTube comment was the behaviour of an unhinged lunatic. If you think it’s acceptable to send hundreds of messages to people threatening them over a single comment as benign as that one, maybe you’re an unhinged lunatic as well. This is psychotic, controlling behaviour and is potentially very dangerous. I’m not sure why you can’t see that.
