Daniel Micay / strcat / strncat / thestinger / GrapheneOS - Schizo software programmer and developer of GrapheneOS Android ROM. Starts drama with everyone and accuses them of harassment. Chronic brigader and bridge burner.

Weird how he pointed me to "many Mozilla and Firefox communities" while never naming any or even providing a single example
Okay, to play a devil's advocate, I assume the community he was talking about was this one, given the context:

I took it as him implying that the deleted example he linked was just one of what's happening all over those places. It's an epidemic across the Mozilla community.
 
Random Swedish guy asks Daniel Micay about Louis Rossmann, it goes as well as you would expect.

This post in particular is hilarious:

Yes, Daniel, it's easy enough for him to visit Kiwi Farms--to confirm that Rossmann only posts in his own thread and has no involvement with your thread.

I don't know if he's just retarded enough to not realize the easily-checkable evidence doesn't support what he says, or just schizo. Probably schizo.
 
I like how Daniel dramatically proclaims Louis to be a KiwiFarms user again and again to get a reaction and this other guy just hits him with "aha that's crazy man, thanks for sharing".

I don't know if he's just retarded enough to not realize the easily-checkable evidence doesn't support what he says, or just schizo.
Why do you think people like him screech so much about KF being all-powerful group of elite hackers, doxers and nazis? They try to get people to be too scared to even open the site and check things for themselves. Didn't you know that typing the forum's URL into the address bar is enough to get you, your family and your dog doxed?

It also will make your phone explode.
 
Now we're back to regularly scheduled schizoposting. This time Daniel is autistically screeching at some Germans about muh Kiwi Farms, CalyxOS and Louis Rossmann.

I always wonder, if he's so sure that CalyxOS ringleaders are behind the alleged swattings, why haven't they been arrested? Surely if he's correct in his knowledge he can pass it to law enforcement who can arrest them.
 
Daniel claims that Techlore's video has no proof (when it contains plenty of screenshots of Daniel's behavior) and claims that it contains "irrelevant" screenshots of "CalyxOS community members raiding our rooms" (where did Techlore ever show this? I would love to see these because they have never been provided even though Daniel has claimed this many times over).

This is in direct response to a screenshot of the (former?) GrapheneOS developer named anupritaisno1 telling everyone in the room to make Twitter accounts to reply to James Donaldson on threat of "escorting you out of this group", which Daniel just completely ignores by the way. The German dude bends over backwards to apologize for reporting on a bad first install experience with GrapheneOS (a) but Daniel Micay never apologizes for the behavior of him or anyone adjacent to him.

Which by the way, wasn't enough for Daniel, who seems to have defederated his account (I can no longer view his posts from grapheneos.social):

Speaking of people adjacent to him, let's talk about matchboxbananasynergy, a GrapheneOS community moderator who says you shouldn't "take videos of people who are only presenting their side of the story at face value".

matchbox.png
If you then look at the videos of Techlore and Louis Rossmann, it seems to be a community that I will definitely avoid. And yes, that's a relevant point for me when it comes to which software I use.
source (a)

This is retarded. Yes, you shouldn't take critics at face value, but neither should you take advocates either. The truth is somewhere between the two. Is it true that the community will help you with GrapheneOS if you ask questions? Yes. Is it also true that Daniel Micay will tard rage if you happen to comment on a video that criticizes him? Yes. I don't think it's comfortable to talk in a community where you have to tiptoe around one guy and if you say the wrong thing you'll be accused of harassment and libel and banned.

And the thing is, absolutely nothing has changed. I've wondered if the people working with Micay would ever do something about him, but it seems like they're enabling him all the same. matchboxbananasynergy is a good example of this. He says they're in a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" scenario, but they're not, because they're done literally nothing to address the issue of Daniel Micay. Any one of the developers or moderators could talk with him to change his behavior, or could remove him from public roles (reminder, he still controls all GrapheneOS social media), or do anything, but they haven't. It's like they pretend that there isn't a problem.

As far as I'm concerned, GrapheneOS' gutter reputation is completely deserved.
 
Over in the GrapheneOS Discord/Matrix/Telegram, Daniel says that Mastodon is worse than Twitter with Twitter having "fewer people being toxic towards us". Idk man you seem to screech at people on Twitter more. He's probably saying this because of that German dude from earlier on Mastodon.

Daniel joins the anti-Hacker News club alongside esteemed upstanding citizens like Hector Martin and Drew DeVault. He claims that it has people who are "highly malicious" towards GrapheneOS and engage in "harassment".

hackernews2.png

Daniel claims that Rossman's community "overlaps" heavily with people who are raiding him just because he has a verified account on Kiwi Farms. He does in fact use it to talk to his fans but he doesn't do anything more than that.
rossmankiwifarms.png

I will say though, I witnessed a raid in the Matrix server today hence why I took these screenshots through Discord. They were pinging everyone, spamming swastika ASCII art and "fuck niggers" though thankfully no CP. My opinion is that Daniel would do well to not react to being spammed and raided cause a upset reaction just makes him more of a target.

It's a surefire sign of narcissism that Daniel expects Louis to be the one to "make amends" rather than the other way around. Also lmao, Louis doesn't want to do anything with you anymore, he's not going to make more content "misleading people about the project".

Daniel Micay continues to be a huge PR nightmare for GrapheneOS. This time, he's targeting the (pooner?) Techlore-adjacent person of PrivacyGuides, Jonah Aragon, and accusing xir of fascism and harassment, and directing everyone to start using PrivSec.dev instead.

His proof is accusing some other guy named maxtannahill of being a fascist, and also Techlore is an enemy of GrapheneOS.
02.png

Daniel is a retard because there's nothing on the GrapheneOS Twitter account mentioning maxtannahill and the only mentions are on his own personal account, which is now private. Good job providing evidence, fuckwad.

I haven't been able to find any evidence of maxtannahill being a """fascist""" and I'm not going to make Daniel's argument for him. What I have found, though, doesn't seem to paint a pretty picture for Daniel:

He apparently got into a slapfight with this guy around 2020 (screenshot from 2021 since this is a continuation of said fight and Daniel always holds grudges forever). And ironically enough, he's implying that Daniel is the fascist here for letting Gab use GrapheneOS, but not him. Who's jewing who now?!

To be clear I don't think anybody mentioned here is a "fascist" because that's a meaningless bogeyman word used to scare people. More importantly, it seems like Max has an issue with Daniel slandering Seth Simmons for no good reason:

source (a)

So that's probably the real reason why Daniel hates him so much.

But back to the present. Daniel just namedrops Kiwi Farms out of fucking nowhere and says Jonah is aligned with us. I don't know why xe would do that if xe is a pooner tranny and we have a reputation for being transphobic, but whatever.

Also you better NOT be entertained by this, fellas. None of this is entertainment. Humour is verboten.

And then another naive soul makes the mistake of criticising Daniel for this strange and autistic behavior:

Marcus is going to learn his lesson soon enough. NEVER disagree with Daniel Micay, stalker child. (Daniel seems to have already deleted his half of the initial slapfight and demanded that he do the same for whatever reason.)

Predictably this ends with much wailing and gnashing of teeth. Daniel seems to have defederated Marcus after this (cannot view his posts from grapheneos.social).

He's not welcome anymore!

But Daniel still continues to screech at him, so Marcus blocked him anyway.

As the Rossman says, this is informative and unfortunate.
 
I definitely think the reason Daniel is going after Jonah, is because he co-hosts a podcast with Techlore. Surveillance report is the name of the podcast I believe, it wouldn't surprise me that Daniel would put people on his shit list for being friends or collaborating with people. This is taken from Jonahs GitHub page with further shows his relationship with Techlore.

I also find it funny that he claims Jonah aligns with the farms when Jonah seems like the type of person who would be a supporter of de-platforming the farms. Daniel also mentions that some contributors left Privacy Guides over Jonah being "fascist". I wonder who though?

I mean it's not like someone would quit being a contributor because a certain project head would take away their janny broom... right?
 
Daniel Micay implies that the people who haven't left PrivacyGuides are involved in fascism and are enemies of GrapheneOS.

I decided to do some digging on why Daniel is so butthurt about PrivacyGuides in particular and I found something. Here are recent posts (5 days ago) on the PrivacyGuides forum that, uh oh, shows Daniel Micay's bad behaviour!
conflict.png
source (a)

Now this is just speculation but I don't find it hard to believe that Daniel saw these posts, sperged out at Jonah, Jonah refused to take them down and now Daniel is smearing their name by claiming they did something unrelated. It's literally no different than accusing Rossmann of attempted murder when the real reason is because he posted a comment on Techlore's video.

So let's take a look at those links shall we? The first one (a) is the initial Bromite saga which I already covered in the OP.

The second one links to a fork of Bromite named Cromite. I bet you can see where this is going.....
cromite1.png

Yuuuup the usual sperging about muh harassment. But he doesn't stop there. He mentions "the CalyxOS community member who repeatedly tried to have me killed by the police via swatting attacks." Who? I dunno, he never says.
cromite2.png

Daniel accuses the Cromite developers of making themselves "a significant part" of "the swatting attacks targeting me in April this year and other escalations." Also, Google and Youtube are to blame too.

The third link of the PrivacyGuides post is much more involved with a now-deleted slapfight. It's to the Florisboard Github repository, which is a free and open source Android keyboard and they're looking to be integrated into GrapheneOS. Until somebody links the Bromite issue that Daniel sperged out in:
floris1.png

The author of the issue (Patrick Gold) says haha nope fuck that, don't want to get involved in drama.
floris2.png

And then the simp named matchboxbananasynergy steps in to defend the good name of GrapheneOS, mentioning that there is a lot of "nuance" in the linked issue and wanting Floris to collaborate with Graphene.
floris3.png
This is basically the closest to an official statement that the GrapheneOS project has made on the Bromite incident (a couple months or so after it happened), and it SUCKS. Yes, banana fag, the "nuance" being that Daniel Micay routinely falsely believes that people are against him when they're not. Hell, he's blown up at people for a single press of the Like button on a tweet.

Unsurprisingly, Patrick Gold doesn't buy it.
floris4.png

Some random person created an account just to suck the dick of GrapheneOS, and then immediately deleted their account after (from replies, they were named @alexiaoff). If I were as schizo as Daniel, I might believe that this is a blatant sockpuppet of a GrapheneOS project member.
floris5.png

There's also a pretty good writeup of the Bromite drama by someone named Dyras.
floris6.png

The deleted account then accuses Dyras of bringing the drama, because apparently informing somebody of somebody's issues is continuing drama. A minor slapfight ensues which includes @alexiaoff recontextualising the Bromite incident as being about a license issue (LOL doubt it) and saying Dyras should keep donating to GrapheneOS.

The issue dies for a week until Daniel Micay stumbles upon it and does his usual shtick of accusing everybody involved of spreading "baseless libel", engaging in "abusive behavior", giving a platform to "abusive trolls", demanding Patrick remove his code, yadda yadda.
floris12.png
source (a)

Ironically, despite he himself being the one to first archive this issue, this comment was deleted afterwards. Continuing, Dyras asks for evidence, only to be accused of "engaging in blatant fabrications and spreading their inaccurate talking points here" in return.
floris13.png

Daniel Micay declares FlorisBoard an enemy of GrapheneOS and accuses them of collaborating with Calyx and F-Droid to bully him.

floris15.png

Patrick is clearly confused and upset, because he's not involved with any of whatever bullshit Daniel has spewed. This is what it looks like when somebody encounters Micay's schizo side for the first time.
floris16.png

Daniel of course thinks that Daniel Micay is never wrong, stalker child. He has the audacity to claim that anybody looking at this thread will know for sure that he's "being targeted by clearly fabricated stories and bullying by malicious trolls".
floris17.png
floris18.png

Patrick reaches his breaking point of being falsely accused of bullying and harassment, but then agrees to talk with Daniel Micay over Matrix to "resolve this in an amicable way".
floris19.png
source (a)

And then.. the entire page was deleted. Why? I'm betting that Daniel told him to delete it and then he would leave them alone. So good for him. Too bad we have archives (not to mention that Daniel archived the page himself first).
