Daniel strcat the top dev is unfortunately super paranoid. He really thinks everyone is out to get him and he goes on long crusades on the net that drag on and on and that's why he gets banned. People just get tired of it. There's long videos of all his persecution claims being debunked.
Last year he took a step back when it got too much but he seems to be back in full swing lately. He's a good developer and technically very strong but he really needs to chill. Even his strongest supporters like Louis Rossman had to drop him.
I think what caused it was his partner swindling him during the time of CopperheadOS but really this is not cool.
Having said that, grapheneos **is** the strongest on security and privacy by far. It's just sad to see all the unnecessary drama around it and yes it does put people off.

If he kept his thoughts as private as his operating system, he'd be set. The paranoia might help development of a tool like this but all the drama is a bit off putting, yes.

Don't you want someone who is paranoid making a security focused OS?
