I can totally see how Madaidan can cause fear, uncertainty, and doubt. When I read, for example, his criticisms of Linux, I felt not only that, but also disappointment. You for sure have good reasons to dislike Madaidan and either GraphenOS or the Lemmy GrapheneOS community. But I don’t know them. Could you explain a bit why Madidan and GrapheneOS (or it’s Lemmy community) are problematic? Your answer would help me see what you see :)
Is important to understand that madaidan isn’t spreading any FUD or fear or doubts whatsoever.
His criticism toward Linux is justified and well written. People who actually work with Linux everyday can confirm that.

There is a huge difference between:
“I acknowledge that what madaidan has wrote is true, nonetheless I still keep to prefer Linux as my daily for x reasons”
“madaidan is spreading fud about Linux and other software because is a shill etc.”

Here, “every privacy community” refers to NoGoolag and SpiteChat Telegram/Mtarix rooms, both places where madaidan is an admin and his entire pack of extremely racist people shitpost all day. It may also refer to r/privacytoolsio, where blacklight and madaidan seem to be close, toxic friends that call each other for brigading anyone who criticises them. blacklight, r/PTIO mod, once even attacked me after I was banned by trai_dep, the monster in the privacy community that promotes Apple and AMA hosts absolutely disgusting people like Cory Doctorow.
