I believe this is just the result of them having marketing, which GrapheneOS obviously does not have in substantial amounts other than word of mouth. Calling it "brainwashing" is a little harsh.

James is so openly desperate and pathetic with his sweet talking, manipulation and false narratives. I really do not understand how people fall for it. I don't understand how people who support Bitcoin support something completely antithetical to it that should be super familiar.

Do you have a positive opinion of people who fall for Craig Wright's bullshit and promote him and BSV on Twitter. It's completely transparent bullshit, just like this. They support something against their claimed principle and values. Also, being scammed != helping scam others.

I don't attack people who fall for scams. I blame the people at the top who knowingly spread misinformation. Presenting the facts should enough for everyone else, and I encourage you to stick to the facts.

This is one of the people at the top: an influencer in a community helping a company scam people and helping to cause harm to an open source project. They should know better. A GrapheneOS contributor did try to reach out to them and they weren't interested in reason or evidence.

They're friends with Max and they're going to listen to whatever he has to say, and it's very apparent that Max is a very toxic person who takes great pleasure in causing harm to GrapheneOS and myself simply based on his grudge against me. I don't think he cares beyond that.

"They should know better" != "part of an organized misinformation campaign".
With all due respect, you are being pretty toxic in this situation. I understand CH have put you under a lot of stress, but lashing out at unrelated third parties isn't a solution.

They aren't at all an unrelated third party. They're someone that has been actively helping Copperhead for weeks and was given every opportunity to be reasonable. They've chosen to spread dishonest claims about us to cause harm to the project. That's entirely their choice.

It's very clear that you've been spending a lot of time listening to the false narratives that James spreads in those echo chambers. I think you should take some time to see things from the perspective that people outside of that bubble (regardless of who they support) see it.

Again, "dishonest" implies knowingly lying on the facts. The only thing from Seth I can see you referring to is accounts which harassed him being socketpuppets, which he has no way of knowing one way or another.

In which case he is dishonest because he's falsely claiming they are GrapheneOS sockpuppets.
That's not what dishonest means. If he believes them to be sockpuppets (which is not a totally unreasonable assumption, given how Twitter is), stating this belief does not make him "dishonest" or a liar.
