To be fair, those apps were plagued with poor security practices to begin with. Switch to GrapheneOS and get your apps via Obtainium. Check out privsec.dev for why you shouldn’t use F-droid. Open source apps are great but some have really bad security practices unfortunately.
Bullshit. Never listen to those US Big Tech evangelists. GrapheneOS is the singular most vile group in privacy community, and adds harmful features without user or community consent, and has only one project contributor/committer who lies about everyone harassing him, attacking him or trying to help swat/murder him, and never gives evidence for anything while crybullying everyone.
By your logic, we should all stop using open source apps and only use closed source corporate software.
The drama around one of the devs does not affect the quality of the project. It also has nothing to do with US Big Tech. GrapheneOS is free and open source software. That being said, not all FOSS is made equal and you should avoid projects that don’t take security seriously.
GrapheneOS is not truly free and open source software. Its licensing relies on the whims of a singular deranged person Daniel Micay, who witch hunts, harasses and accuses people as he wishes, never having backed up any of his accusations in the past multiple years, and always threatens people to worship or do what he asks otherwise his code must be removed or else he will unleash his deranged community army to attack the “enemy”.

It happened to me already, and DivestOS developer was the one who was threatened on XMPP chatroom last year.

I have investigated and documented “security” zealots/militants in FOSS/privacy community for the past 5 years. They engage in and encourage IT brodude asshole behaviour, and always crybully everyone as they please, while hiding behind anonymous/pseudonymous identities and platforms.

He even harassed and accused Louis Rossmann recently, and upon the Matrix chats being made public, he called himself “autist” and hid behind his Discourse forum where the most extreme form of censorship and sugarcoating can be observed. He is the only person that commits to GrapheneOS, a one man show project, so his “stepping down” was a game of optics and a big lie.
