Non toxic mobile privacy community (sh.itjust.works)

So I've been in the rabbit hole of android privacy for some time, last I joined the GrapheneOS community but let's just say that they doesn't have a "healthy" opinion about other projects like f-droid.

So I am looking for generic communities that focus on mobile privacy that doesn't have drama or toxicity or "extreme opinions". Any suggestions? I prefer chat based communities like matrix or simplex instead of like reddit or lemmy.

Two words: Fuck Graphene

(More words): and the assholes who run it.

I've been flashing phones since my OG Droid in 2009. Done probably 200+ flashes across numerous phones.

I've been in IT since the early 90's.

Had an error with the Graphene flash on a clean Pixel. The way they talked to me would've gotten me a re-training session with my management, possibly fired, back when I was on a help desk.

Bunch of arrogant, condescending pricks. They need a Red Foreman boot up their ass.
