@maltfield Here we go again, another nothing-burger that doesn't surprise me at all. I love the project, but Daniel just seems insufferable from his comments in that thread, and other, older, comments.
With all respect to him and the project, but if something as simple, as miniscule, very little drama-worthy such as a thread asking for a simple gesture feature causes him to "lose an hour of [his] work" and to make him worry about more attacks on the project, it just indicates bigger problems than just a simple focus loss due to some small issue that gained virtually ZERO interactions besides a total of four people, including Daniel and the community mod.
I get GOS has been harassed by other projects, but even mentioning a 'competing' ROM such as /e/OS or CalyxOS counts as bad behaviour and inciting harassment and this and that, it's obviously not a good look.
@maltfield Here's another example of I'm guessing Daniel, being an asswipe towards someone that had a genuine concern with the 'apocalyptic' way GrapheneOS tends to exaggerate their messages. It's clear from that sentence that "the final version of GrapheneOS" is not intended to be referring to some 24-hour support or whatever they tried to explain later in the thread.

Notice the loaded words in the thread, "extreme", "misrepresenting", "lying", and so on. That user wasn't fucking lying or misrepresenting, they were genuinely concerned after reading that stupidly-written message on their Matrix.
There's a boatload of threads like these where the GOS account jumps to people's throats with a knife for the smallest things.
Write something that may not be entirely true, perhaps you've heard some rumor or whatever somewhere and just want to get official news? Oops, you're lying, you're extremely misrepresenting what we wrote, please don't ever interact with us again, we'll ban you, etc.
Yeah, I once suggested the camera app from Calyx in their Matrix and I was immediately threatened with a ban
