GrapheneOS developer now seems to be running around on Twitter and threatening people with unspecified "response" when they post any less than ecstatic comments about his project.
Around half year ago I engaged in a discussion with him on Matrix, after which he quite unexpectedly deleted all my comments and kicked me out of the channel.
Today I had the (doubtful) pleasure of blocking him after he came to my DM with a long rant in response to an one-line comment...
🤷
@Wetrix There are some dicks in FOSS community obviously and all kinds of toxic attitudes or bullying were discussed for at least decade. FOSS on the other hand was always very much about team work and these attitudes never survived for long... This guy certainly has some kind of God complex which is sad because he's harming an interesting and reasonable project.
@kravietz yeah I love FOSS progs. I wish I could be in it and this one with this account at the same time.
@kravietz I've loved GrapheneOS for a while but I've experienced the same. If you talk to him long enough its more than clear that he's a very depressed and pessimistic person. He's discussed how he's very worried about the project and it's lifespan because of the thousands of dollars he's spent in hardware and the fact he can't live comfortably off of what he's making now from it. He's certainly abrasive to say the least but I find it hard not to cut the guy some slack.
@kravietz sounds like this guy is to high on himself and in his mind elevated himself to God status 🙄
