Thanks for pointing that out, looks like I'm a bit behind the times when it comes to the inner goings on at GOS!

I've accepted for a while that the lead developer is extremely paranoid and could probably genuinely do with healthcare intervention. Like in much open source development I think it isn't helped by overwork and burnout, so I hope that at some point Graphene gets a better governance structure which spreads responsibility and which hopefully will limit the incessant drama that only harms the project. I don't see him being willing to give up his grip, but I can always hope.

I'll continue to use Graphene unless things go entirely off the rails though, as it is a great OS and I don't really think there are many great alternatives.

Massive thanks for this. I've been using non-OSS Symfonium for a while as I could not find a decent OSS client, but this looks really good!

They also had a culture of accusing anyone who complained about issues or asked questions about why things were done a certain way of being a shill for Calyx, and of there being a coordinated effort by Calyx and others to discredit them. I'm a GOS user, but the lead developer is without a doubt pretty paranoid at least.

Regardless, these accusations against FUTO are pretty concerning.
