Non toxic mobile privacy community (sh.itjust.works)

So I've been in the rabbit hole of android privacy for some time, last I joined the GrapheneOS community but let's just say that they doesn't have a "healthy" opinion about other projects like f-droid.

So I am looking for generic communities that focus on mobile privacy that doesn't have drama or toxicity or "extreme opinions". Any suggestions? I prefer chat based communities like matrix or simplex instead of like reddit or lemmy.

Isn't he still pretty involved in the project? I only followed the Rossmann story for a bit until I encountered random attacks on microg in the issue for Mozilla Location Services shutting down.

There's also this random attack on alternative location services by GrapheneOS.

(Some surrounding discussion on the article can be found here (microg issue for MLS retiring))

Overall, Graphene does not seem like a friendly project in my opinion.
