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  • and being MORE out of date then even Fairphones stock roms.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.

    Well, my previous statement was kinda misleading. Louis Rossman made ~2 vids about Micay being a dick to him and using autism as an excuse for his behaviour.

      Rossman has joint financial interest with calyx guy who is now leaving calyx.

      There is more to that story IMHO

        I just dived into that rabbit hole, heres what I could understand until now:

        • Theres this Business guy, who owns/Controls much of the Calyx Infrastructure.

        • When Copperhead, a for Profit Company tried to buy up Graphene, the Calyx Guy was (according to Graphene Mastodon team) very prominent and they tried to pressure them into buying it up

        • Now it backfired for Calyx as the Business guy did a

        • On the team, and now they have to change all the Infrastructure and Keys in order to make their workflow secure again

        • Louis has a Telecom Company with that dude as co-founder, apparently according to some legal document

        • Also, very many other OSs have a Problem with Graphene, as they want to be the next Private ROM, but they just wont put in the Time to do anything more then fork Linaege and add their own Propriatery stuff (looking at you, Iode), so they very often try to make alligations against Graphene, only to be completely wrong

        Tbh, I just dont get ROMs, just because you cant beat Graphene dosent mean that everyone needs the kind of Security Graphene gives you. Just dont fuck up, no matter how hard it apparently is.

          iodéOS has never made allegations against GrapheneOS. You are spreading so much conspiracy disinformation in this thread, it’s crazy you haven’t been called out more for it.
