That was not a generalisation, but a (perhaps confusing) way to convey this group exists in both FOSS and privacy community, attacking both, creating drama in both and normalising asshole behaviour and lies in general. I am well aware of the distinction, as a Debian user, and a Linux adopter since when W10 dropped. I advocate for both free libre OSS and privacy (if you noticed r/privatelife before).
Thanks for making me smirk a little with the WEI example. There is hope only in prioritising freedom AND democratisation of technology, everything else second, as principle. But I consider realism and use specific closed source software where needed, because the world is far from utopia. I have been a Netscape and Phoenix user since the beginning, only tried Chrome once for a few days around 2010s when it was being hyped in the Browser Grand Prix Wars and found it not worth the loss of freedom.
I would like to take this opportunity to show you how Micay and his acolytes and GrapheneOS members have time and time again evangelised Windows, MacOS, Google and Big Tech companies over the years.
This is one of the key reasons why I act as a defense line to protect Lemmy against their invasion. I stopped them completely on Reddit. I stopped them 2 years ago here. Now they are back, downvoting me with 5-6 alts, and I need community support. They are enemies of FLOSS, freedom and even many open source projects. All they do is create drama and spread hate, then when someone complains, they start crying. They are crybullies. Last year they even did this to me, trying to get me out of the way. https://archive.ph/acy2h

GrapheneOS key member who became Privacyguides mod, “considering” closed source promotion rules (http://web.archive.org/web/20220501174616/https://old.reddit.com/r/PrivacyGuides/comments/siqc69/consideration_on_removing_rule_1/) and one month later implementing them (http://web.archive.org/web/20220501174740/https://old.reddit.com/r/PrivacyGuides/comments/tdtbcz/recent_changes_to_privacyguides/). Keep in mind the Big Tech shilling evidence above.
