@nprofile1q... We don't mean the way they display permissions before you install an app. We mean that after you've already chosen to install an app with F-Droid on GrapheneOS, it shows a toast message with a warning about an added permission. This is caused by GrapheneOS adding a Sensors permission toggle with Android's standard infrastructure for adding new permissions in new OS releases. F-Droid will also show a warning for new permissions added by Android upstream, but they work around those.

@nprofile1q... We're working things out with him and the others from that thread who were suspended so we've removed our posts. You're welcome to do the same if you want but it's fine if you don't. We plan on removing these 3 replies regardless.

@nprofile1q... It's the truth and we can show you archives of it. Please look at this as a starting point to begin to understand our perspective. We can share numerous other examples including evidence that F-Droid purposely shows a incorrect warning for every app install done on GrapheneOS.

In a series of other incidents, GrapheneOS users reported valid issues to F-Droid which were rejected with attacks on our project and team. To this day, there are bugs they won't fix.

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... Our team shouldn't be getting called names and insulted by our users on our forum because they think we were taking too long to reply to a question. Within the context of ongoing bullying and harassment towards our team, we didn't find that acceptable. We aren't sure what to do about it now. The people involved are welcome to work it out with us but we aren't comfortable simply moving on from that.

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... Suspensions were made on our forum due to personal attacks on our team including name calling and insults. Those were directed towards our team and specific people, not towards the project. Ongoing harassment was being alluded to as part of it. The suspensions which were made are not permanent but rather will be lifted one by one as the moderation team reviews what happened and talks to the people involved so that the situation doesn't happen again.

@nprofile1q... The suspension doesn't have an automatic expiry date which doesn't mean that it's permanent. We didn't choose an arbitrary expiry date for each of the suspensions especially since the minimum is 1 day. The suspensions were made to shut down what was happening and deal with it case-by-case. Your account was not deleted via anonymization, which is something we can do. It was kept which means that the suspension can be reversed at any time when we think the issue is resolved.

@nprofile1q... Most GrapheneOS users happily use it without actively supporting it. It often seems that far more of our users attack our team members than people support the project. We're not in making software for people who like the software we make but are toxic towards us. What happened throughout that thread is one of the most demotivating things which happens for our overall team. Not really clear what you aim to achieve posting about it on your timeline and directing hate towards us that way.

@nprofile1q... You made a public post directing more hate towards our team. That's not constructive criticism and is the opposite of supporting us. The suspensions were not permanent but rather need to be dealt with case-by-case after determining what happened. People did a pile on with personal attacks towards us based around us not yet replying before we were aware of the thread and had an opportunity to respond.

You're describing yourself as a supporter of the project, but it doesn't look that way.
GrapheneOS profile picture
@nprofile1q... You supported a post with name calling towards our team based on taking a post we made out of context and misrepresenting the situation. The people who made the posts with personal attacks and who liked those were suspended for the time being with case-by-case handling of it by the moderation team ongoing. Your reaction to that is making a public post on your timeline directing more hate towards us. Tuta heavily modified their post now. This was not their first problematic post about us.

@nprofile1q... You were suspended because you supported personal attacks on our team including name calling because we said an email service is problematic. The suspension wasn't permanent but rather lacked an automatic expiry time.

> As far as I can see, you've sent over a hundred posts in the last 24 hours. Nearly all of them arguing with people.

Many attacks were made on our project/team and we don't get a lot of community support. Take a look at what you're doing yourself with the post above.
