    No, I was just asking whether you’re familiar with him or ever interacted with him. Why would you think I would assert he would deserve to be swatted?

    Most people don’t deserve to be swatted, including Daniel Micay. However, it’s not exactly surprising this happened based on the tone in the GrapheneOS community.

    Maybe read the comments on reddit and the Grapheneos forums to get a better picture: https://www.reddit.com/r/PrivacyGuides/comments/13spm4d/daniel_micay_steps_down_as_lead_developer_of/

      Dang, I definitely misread your first question then - I thought you were trying to argue that he was being unreasonable, but I can’t imagine any scenario in which I’d want anything to do with something that got me swatted; I like to think I’m big and bad but I don’t think anyone wouldn’t be scared shitless and at Defcon 1 24/7 after that.

      Like, take this conversation; I misread your commentary - maybe you get mad and swat me; what’s my move?

      • Bounce on lemmy and consider moving house. Change my name. Maybe move to a different country. There’s no way I’d risk that shit again; risking your life over some petty internet bullshit isn’t worth it.

        Exactly. I’m glad he is trying to get out before something even worse happens.
