    if you'd like we can go through the video together and I can prove to you that what is said in it is false
  2. and we can look at the twitter threads (largely completely unrelated to what is posted) and you can see the actual context and what the people involved are doing
  3. you are believing what someone highly malicious towards me is saying, and I do not know why you just take what he says at face value and believe that these cropped screenshots (some are even fake) are real and representative of the conversations
    (edited)
  4. why do you think he completely cropped away all the context?
  5. as is, you are just believing the word of someone clearly highly malicious towards me and highly motivated to harm GrapheneOS and myself without giving me any opportunity to defend myself, and you're publicly endorsing / amplifying his attacks voicing your support for it

    this issue is why myself and other GrapheneOS project members have not agreed to make content with you, is the main reason we haven't pursued anything further with FUTO and has an impact on other projects tied to others like DivestOS and others in that regard too
  9. your comment there is not the issue
    (edited)
  10. the issue is that you're believing fabrications and spin about me, and your comment there reflects that
  11. that is what I want to resolve
  12. you think that by making positive content about GrapheneOS, that I am going to overlook this, but it doesn't work that way
  13. you would be on better terms with me if you hadn't made any of that content but instead had not believed Techlore's attacks on me or voiced support for them

    perhaps it is better for you to talk to someone else about this is that is not extremely distressed about what's happening
  15. I am willing to go through that video with you and show you that it consists of a whole bunch of false claims and spin though

    I am quite upset about the current situation and that's why I said what I did
  17. if we made content with you, that would give you a lot of power to harm us if you chose to do that
  18. of course you already have a lot of power to do that, you have a huge audience
  19. based on what is already happening to me, and based on the influence that you have, I am worried about what you might do
  20. I am aware you posted a bunch of extremely positive content promoting GrapheneOS which attracted people to our community, and that's great, but it doesn't alleviate my concerns at all
  21. I am already being harassed to the point that there is a group of people who have caused 3 swatting incidents, and separately from that called the fire department, called an ambulance, sent things to my house, threatened to kill my dog with poison and more, that is just the real world part of it which is a small part of it
  22. there are people heavily dedicated to spreading attacks on me consisting almost entirely of fabrications, and they are doing that across platforms every day, to the point that one of the largest subreddits (/r/privacy) banned all discussion of AOSP-based operating systems because they were unwilling to deal with the sockpuppet accounts they were creating (I do not think they handled it reasonably, but that's what they did, and while I argued against what they did, it's better than the previous status quo)

    I am extremely worried about the fact that you believe a video pushing a whole bunch of fabrications and spin about me, which I linked to you privately to show you what was happening, and which in hindsight was a mistake without me dedicating time to going through it with you and showing you links to what had happened as we went through it
  24. otherwise, I would be quite happy about the content that you've made about GrapheneOS
  25. and a GrapheneOS project member likely would have done an interview with you, or more than one
  26. but as is, I am very concerned about the situation and the potential that substantial harm is done to GrapheneOS and myself
  27. making content with you would be in a sense endorsing you and signalling to our community to trust you
  28. I will willing to go through things with you perhaps even on the phone (despite me strongly disliking phone calls) to debunk it and give you our side of things which you do not have

    I cannot see the content you've made about GrapheneOS separately from our private conflict / disagreements, especially when you have chosen on at least 2 occasions to make it public (in a video saying it was very hard to give us money in a negative way, and with that comment)
  30. I regret bringing any of this up via email with you

    it's entirely possible to resolve this and I would appreciate if you at least didn't make that harder by posting any more support for people making attacks on us especially solely based on just buying into what they posted without applying skepticism

    Daniel, There is this pattern of you bullying people, and then wrapping yourself in a cloak of victimhood. If you are the victim, then all of your outbursts and accusations are justifiable. They're not. This isn't normal. You are claiming I am complicit in people trying to murder you because I made a youtube comment on a video where someone pointed to chat screenshots of you displaying very similar behavior that you are here. That's insane. Above all, I am genuinely offended at you saying "and if you have an issue with autistic people communicating and thinking differently than you, that's your issue" - as someone on the spectrum, and as someone who has best friends on the spectrum, autism is NOT an excuse to bully people, nor does it justify acting like this. You've acted like this towards me via email last year, in this matrix room, and in chat today - long enough to have gotten the most basic therapy. I felt bad for you before. I do not anymore. I made you an offer in good faith to discuss all of your concerns in a video - but I am not doing that with someone who goes out of their way to manipulate me as you have here. You set things up as if I have ruined a relationship, but if I do what you say, I can "earn" being in good standing with you, as if I am supposed to eat the breadcrumbs you lay for me and chase them. No Daniel, you don't get to falsely accuse me of being complicit in people trying to kill you, and then get to have a conversation with me on my channel - that isn't how this works. I am leaving this room, and would ask that you refrain from talking to me ever again.
