There is evidence of the swatting. You can look it up in the police records of Canada. The harassment is evidenced by many social media posts, including things that are said in this very thread. The project gets attacked a lot, so almost every day there will be a defensive reply, that's true. If the harassers stop those replies will also stop. Easy.
No, you look it up. I haven't seen it because they haven't shared it. I'm not wasting my time looking it up.
There's no way you'll ever get me to believe they have daily harassment campaigns from new attackers, all who are well-respected in the community.
Just so you know, the person you are replying to created that account today purely to respond to every single thread about this issue. It's highly likely they are associated with GrapheneOS.
They created mutiple accounts even. Sounds about as deranged as strcat/Mackay.
I only have one account I'm using on shitjustworks, I also have unused accounts on lemmy.today, lemmy.ml and techncs.de. I use shitjustworks because I feel like the most posts from other instances are visible there. The name is always tranquil_cassowary. I don't go by other names in the privacy and security communities.
No doubt.
They posted the same blog post in about 12 different threads on Lemmy. I want to join the discussion about it so I reply in multiple threads. If this was a centralized platform I wouldn't have to do it like that. I would have preferred to reply one time but I feel like the explanation about what actually happened and about how it's a falsehood (not a contributor, not banned from GrapheneOS ...) should be seen by the people reading the post. Given that some people might only see the post on one of the lemmy instances where it got posted, I deemed it desirable to answer in mutliple threads.
The report would contain personal identifiable information like the address etc. Their address was already leaked of course because it was used for the SWATTing attacks but I don't want to link it so directly on a public post. The events occured in April 2023. If you want information about it and also some more evidence about other harassment you can ask GrapheneOS or the community manager (matchboxbananasynergy) on social media whether they would want to DM you information. If you are in good faith they will send you some info, they also did for other people.
