Calyx Institute and GrapheneOS are both really great projects. I support them both. I rely on products from both.
You're not doing either project any favors by pretending that hastily generalizing nerd dramas and autism over-corrections is somehow a broad statement on the neutrality and objectivity of GrapheneOS's team or the high-quality product it produces.
This kind of bad faith posting is bad for the whole FOSS/libre community, and it's both dumb and rude, in contradiction of HN's site guidelines.
The author of that blog got mad we didn't want to implement a feature they wished for. Their duplicate issue was closed and later deleted and they made a public drama out of it for... what reason?
Let me tell you something. I personally reached out to them just a few weeks ago. I didn't argue, I didn't blame them. That was not my intention and I communicated that clearly. Those were not empty words, I went into it with a genuine open mind and with the goal of finding a solution. After all they consider themselves an open source enthusiast.
It didn't go anywhere. They did not seem willing to discuss anything at all really. You see, even if we assume they are 100% in the right, i.e. they did nothing wrong, why would they oppose our attempt at resolving the conflict? I've come to the conclusion there is no good faith argument to be made here. They spread their post all over the internet, heck they even linked it on Facebook.
