elly on Nostr: nprofile1q…p8d0p dmiException 🎃 --> DHCP But... I don't want to attack you ...

But... I don't want to attack you (personally) or the project. I have no reason for it.

I bought a Pixel 6 back in 2022 *specifically* because of your project, stopped using it not because of something *you* did, but because I simply don't want Google's Services Frameworks on my phone at all (hence why notifications and other features weren't working). It would be exactly the same on LineageOS or other AOSP builds, it's entirely Google's fault (and my stubbornness).
Phone was also too bulky/heavy for me, it was genuinely hard to use because of my condition and caused wrist pain among other issues. If hardware you're working on would be much smaller/lighter, have a mSD and headphone jack then I would gladly buy it.

Once again, I'm somewhat adjacent to pmOS community but I genuinely never seen anyone badmouthing the project. The only thing I keep hearing at various events (in different communities) is "stay away from GrapheneOS's toxic community" (disclaimer: never been to your chats, so I won't comment whether that's true or not).

I genuinely think it's a "spiral of hatred" where X time ago someone messed up an interaction, things got sour, and over time it spiraled out of control. Then the whole Rossmann thing happened, you didn't know how to deal with it so you started being more and more defensive (especially after trauma you've experienced) and whenever people said anything remotely negative about the project, it felt like an attack to you.
I hope you realize that the sentence you wrote:

> Every time you make inaccurate claims about GrapheneOS, you get closer to us beginning a massive response including organizing our community against the project as has been done by the postmarketOS community towards GrapheneOS with endless attacks on our team.

Perfectly describes what I just said. Someone threw a rock at us, we threw a rock back. Except that rock hit the wrong person, so now we have two people throwing rocks at us. Rinse and repeat, I hope you will see what I see.
