They try to spin us defending ourselves and asking people for help countering attacks as us being the perpetrators. It's totally false.
GrapheneOS has never engaged in making sockpuppets, harassment, raiding communities, etc. We do ask people for help countering them doing it.

Since our community tends to be very privacy focused, they usually lack accounts on social media like Twitter, Reddit, etc.
Our users don't want to give a phone number to Twitter. Our suggestion to them has been they can create an account here by using a virtual phone number.

The people trying to harm us create sockpuppet accounts both to attack us and to masquerade as GrapheneOS users.
They contact people pretending to be GrapheneOS users in a way that's intended to make us look bad.
That behavior is not encouraged or permitted in our community.

No, but 2 people in particular certainly want to harm us: James Donaldson and Techlore.
I'm not sure how your comment is meant to contribute at all to this thread.
Techlore trying to portray me as deranged with his false claims / misrepresentations is nothing new. It's ongoing.

Techlore made an hour long video showcasing his evidence. Are you able to respond with facts?

He made an hour long video making false claims and misrepresentations, with screenshots not backing up what he was saying. We'll respond to it in depth. He clearly spent a long time making it to cause maximum harm to us and going through all of it will take time.

Techlore has spent months organizing a harassment campaign against me. We have our own proof. I'm not sure what the screenshots in his videos are supposed to show and they certainly don't match what he claims.
He entirely falsely claims we used sockpuppet accounts and so on.

That long video accusing us of doing to him what he has organized doing to us with others is ridiculous. He doesn't show you any proof of what he claims...
What he shows are some of my responses to endless attacks he has participated in making against us alongside Copperhead.

Take a better look at what you're actually being shown.
You're taking the word of the person with a massive grudge against us who has spent months making immature attacks with a particular focus on degrading and bullying me.

Saying something while showing a screenshot not at all matching what's being claimed is not proof.
It's simply him playing out his grudge against us for not making him (an outsider we didn't know) into a moderator, not helping him make content and not promoting his channel.

if you have proof of those that would actually be very interesting. I do completely appreciate there's 2 side to every story
