It’s a team of around 10 full time developers and also other project members with moderation responsibilities. Some of them sadly have to deal with adressing harassment on a daily basis yes. But what is the alterantive? Just letting yourself be harassed? Would you also reply like this to a person getting bullied? “Just ingore the bullies, don’t defend yourself against them and let your personality speak for yourself!” That’s not fair. GrapheneOS has every right to defend themselves.
Just put on your big boy pants and ship code man. I know open source development is tough, you don’t do it for the money and you deal with lots of idiots who act like you owe them something. But you’re wasting your time with them and it seems to me like it’s more about ego than anything else
I’m not a GrapheneOS developer, nor part of the GrapheneOS team, I’m a GrapheneOS user and community member. I can’t go ship code. Agreed that open source development is a difficult work environment due to some people feeling heavily entitled and those people being very vocal. As to for the actual GrapheneOS team, they would love to waste less time with responding to attacks and false information. However, it’s a very normal, human response to not want misinformation about yourself and your project to thrive all across the internet. This also can hurt the project in many ways, it’s not an ego thing.
Look I have no idea about all of the community drama and I don’t care if you are a community member of the leading dev. I’m shipping code every day and if someone talks shit, let them talk, I literally don’t have time for it because I’m busy shipping code. So if you just code and not react, what are those vocal people gonna do about it? Jump out of their screens and beat you up irl?
