The directors of the the GrapheneOS Foundation and the other things you're talking about are public information. I stepped down as lead developer due to relentless harassment preventing me from being productive. The same people targeting me with harassment misrepresented what was happening.
You shouldn't get info about GrapheneOS from Hacker News comments especially when multiple regulars here are part of the attacks on GrapheneOS. Hacker News permits people to freely engage in libel and harassment towards me on nearly every post about GrapheneOS.
Thank you, to you and the rest of the team, for your work on GrapheneOS!
If I may make a suggestion: as GrapheneOS becomes more popular, perhaps it's time to better establish users' trust in the control over it.
When the project was primarily you, who was already known for technical prowess and a principled exit from a different project, that was enough for many enthusiasts.
But as both the team and the user base have grown (and, secondarily, the outside world has become less stable), a new infusion of confidence in trustworthiness would help.
I'm not sure how to do that, but it may include communicating who is involved (not just names, but why they should be trusted), and what safeguards there are against mistakes and compromised/rogue individuals.
I say this because GrapheneOS may be the best candidate for a trustworthy smartphone platform right now, and I hope for the best followthrough and success of that.
Why should privacy-oriented individuals be forced to dox themselves? There is a company that should be able to stand on its own reputation or not.
Thank you for your work. What would you say the future holds for the project? Is it in good hands?

Seems like you’re proving his point. From what I can tell he founded the project and was bullied into leaving on social media. Happy to update my view if there’s additional information.
He runs the GrapheneOS twitter account and regularly engages in mud slinging and accusing people of trying to kill him. One would think he would take a W with Motorola.

No, by all means. Add a couple more paragraphs. Your rant seethes with credibility.
I actually don't regret going in and turning "show dead" on so I could see it. Knowing that someone is considered a lolcow is legitimately useful information.
It might no be polite, you might not like it, but it is useful data to people who prefer their truths entirely unfettered by nosy busybodies who call themselves "moderators".
Who in the derp are you?
That question has no relevance other than to gin up an ad hominem. Shame on you.
Yeah honestly not sure why my reply got flagged, I like to think I'm at least contributing to the conversation with relevant information more than someone saying "who the derp are you" lol
If you're scared by the presence of more than 200 characters of text, I'm afraid to say this platform may not be the right one for you.
You would likely be better served by Mastodon, Bluesky, or Twitter.
