have learnt a lot more being in graphene community than anywhere else, simply because they do not tolerate misinformation and pretenders.

You and I find this to be true because our sense of privacy/security aligns with that community’s.

Techlore does not recommend them last I checked. It also sell courses and promotes less secure systems like calyx os, which is like grift 101 for privacy space, so not sure why you trust them

Techlore has its problems, but grift isn’t one of them (may happen in search of virality or marketing or whatever, but I haven’t seen it happen, yet; or, may be, I’m not paying attention).

As for “less secure”, it goes without saying that everything is less secure given a rigid enough threat model.

They suck money out of the ecosystem by grifting people unfamiliar with ground truths

Calyx actively collaborates with multiple FOSS projects (like F-Droid & Lineage) in the Android space, no? They once had a neat thing going on with Graphene, too (viz “AOSP Alliance”). It all came down due a spiralling set of events.

I was officially done with this community only reserving it as a last resort or rather a technical support. And the irony that people in PG are having the same values as GOS would here yet they actively attack

Graphene and PG are very different communities (with their own set of problems). Not surprising one finds trouble with both, as nothing is perfect and god knows everyone’s list of grievances & grudges runs unto infinity. Digital Privacy is a charged topic with a lot of passionate folks around.
