1/ @GrapheneOS crossed the line for the last time last night, and I now have to strongly recommend no one use their OS.
After weeks of reply spam, sockpuppet spam, and DMs, they reached out to *another* #Monero community member I respect via DM and slandered my reputation.

2/ While the OS itself may be fine (I know people using it without issues), I cannot in good conscience recommend something that is led and built by people that would stoop to these levels simply because I chose to use @CopperheadOS and recommend it based on my own experience.
3/ As of today I have removed any mentions of it from my blog, and will solely recommend people use @CopperheadOS or @calyxinstitute if they want to move to a de-Googled and more private mobile experience.
Enough is enough.

4/ If you're using @GrapheneOS (or regular Android) today and want to switch, I can highly recommend reaching out to @mamushi_io to start the switch based on personal experience, and take a look at my guide to help the transition:

f/ If you want to use a FOSS alternative and don't want to pay for Copperhead, @calyxinstitute is a great alternative that can be a bit easier to transition to due to support for microG:
