    Anecdotally, I have found a similar experience modding slrpnk. It’s been (IMO) extremely low in drama, and due to the theme, the community is filled to the brim with incrediblely pleasant people who make it a joy to participate in, and often step up to moderate abandoned communities and reduce the load on us admins.

    Though it probably helps that we’re still a smallish/medium sized instance, require written applications, and defederate from a small handful of instances to decrease potential conflict.






  • If you mean when they say:

    Having our own devices meeting our hardware requirements (https://grapheneos.org/faq#future-devices) would reduce the time pressure to migrate to new releases and could be used to obtain early access ourselves. Based on talks with OEMs, paying for what we need will cost millions of dollars.

    I don’t think they’re saying that they will, they’re pointing out how expensive it would be to do so (I.E, unlikely as they do not have the funds to do it).

    Further down they clarify when someone asks what they mean by a GrapheneOS device:

    Working with an OEM partner to make devices built to run GrapheneOS. We have a list of hardware requirements at https://grapheneos.org/faq#future-devices which are provided by the currently supported devices (Pixels). It would be very hard to make new devices meeting our requirements. We would need the community to raise a substantial amount of money in advance by preordering devices. We would need to incorporate substantial costs for development and long term support into the device cost.

    Edit:

    I was wrong! Graphene has clarified that they will, in fact, pursue creating their own hardware. Check main OP for details.
