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.
A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.

You can just join XDA. TBH if Graphene is not your thing and Lineage OS isn’t supported on your device, you can just unlock the bootloader and install the patched kernel using KernelSU which will give you the control you want.
what about DivestOS?
The dev has ties with the Graphene OS project and has had some controversy. Not to say that it is bad but you should be aware of the person who controls it.
Device support?
It’s based on Lineage, so lots
Most of them older devices. This is not the fault of the Lineage OS devs, but companies just aren’t allowing it anymore. So if you have a new device, Lineage OS is not an option, if you’re in the US
Yeah, I want all my devices to run LineageOS and that limits me from lots of options to maybe 2 or 3 modern ones at reasonablish price points.
Thankfully I don’t live in the US, it would be even more difficult as you said.

Any good tutorial??
Read KernelSU docs
XDA has a chat?
They have a forum
