GrapheneOS: Another contributor attacked & banned by Daniel Micay
Daniel Micay banned me from GrapheneOS. Why? It was for the silliest reason...
Why was I banned from GrapheneOS? That’s a good question.

While the authors intentions are a bit iffy (the whole thing happened over a year ago), the fact that two new fresh accounts that speak just like Daniel apperead in the comments speak the loudest.
Daniel, if you are reading this, comparing Graphene features to Lineage is not targeted harassment, nor is creating feature requests that can be closed and explained politely. When browsing the GrapheneOS forum the weirdest thing is seeing misunderstanding people being threatened with bans instead of helped with explanations. Usually with forums I just assume a 12-year-old is behind the keyboard, but unfortunately that's not the case with Graphene.

/ˈ𝘴ɑː𝘬 ˌ𝘱ʌ𝘱.ɪ.𝘵𝘳𝘪/
(n.) An online identity created, and used, for purposes of deception. A sockpuppet purports to be an independent party that supports, approves of, or agrees with some agent (a person, organization, agency, or state), but is in fact created and controlled by that agent, and has no independent existence. Common uses of sockpuppets include plausibly deniable hacking or information operations, provocation, and astroturfing (creation of the illusion of grassroots support).
Legit 2 digit IQ, Tranquil is not a sock puppet. I've seen him in GrapheneOS chat rooms occasionally over the span of a few years during the time I've occasionally looked through them. From what I've seen he's very active & is constantly helping people out.
I'm a real person and long-time community member. I'm not an account created by Daniel. You can go to the GrapheneOS Discord and search for from: tranquil_cassowary and see that I have posts going way back in time, on Matrix I used to go by stackedbedrock@arcticfoxes.net and now also go by tranquil_cassowary@arcticfoxes.net. My style of writing is also not the same at all, as is my level of English. It's probably easier for you though to assume that everyone who disagrees with you is one person, so that only one person would be disagreeing with you.
I don't know if you or the other account is Daniel or not. You do have to have a few screws loose to be constantly looking for posts that are negative towards your project and create accounts (or multiple) to defend it ASAP. However doing it to someone elses project you would have to be in a nuthouse, so I usually assume the more intelligent option.
I looked for the posts once when they got post-spammed across all of Reddit and the Fediverse by the OP. Now I just get notifications for things happening in the replies. That's how these social media things work, there are notification inboxes. As I said, I'm not Daniel you can verify it by looking in the Discord. I'm passionate about this project, I think having a positive passion towards something isn't that strange. Being passionate about harassing a project and an open source developer, however, seems a bit stranger.
