  That’s dubious, since the “former” lead developer is still referring to the project with the pronoun “we” on social media.

    You can still be part of a project without being lead, to be part of the “we.” Did he contribute and/or is he part of GrapheneOS, yes? So he’s part of the “we.”

    Or does only the lead developer get the “we?” Wouldn’t that make it more of an “I” instead?

      I was responding to a comment that claimed “he isn’t on the project since last year”. Based on his activity on social media, he is clearly still in the project.

      You should remember that he founded the original CopperheadOS project (from which he was violently ousted by his cofounder) and has been working on it and this for a decade.

  His github says otherwise

  • Kopy@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    It states that he is the “Founder of @GrapheneOS”, not the current lead developer. So I don’t get your point

      His activity on GrapheneOS repositories, issues, etc. indicates he’s still very active in development and in the community.

        IMO he can contribute all he wants. His PRs will still have to go through someone else (i.e. the new maintainer / lead dev). I don’t care if he adds new code. That’s much appreciated.

        Toxicity is more of an issue if you’re the maintainer since you have control over the project.
