Hey I know you have "drama" with them but the PrivacyGuides community is solely centered around the concept of technical privacy, non-contextualized, and is agnostic to every other topuc. They've criticized (if not attacked) many FOSS projects but only from the lens of privacy and so I would understand their sometimes odd behavior. That being said, it would be unbiased of you to accuse them with such conspiracy theories.
On the other hand, I'm perplexed by the fact that they prominently use the spyware crap that Reddit is for communications.
I disagree, from years of experience. It is not personal beef, and I have documented their behaviour as a 4 year record. They have stolen thousands of dollars of donations which constitutes as an international crime, and they have repeatedly recommended Brave (while taking Brave Rewards) and even Apple to people.
donations are not theft lol ๐
They are, when you money launder to your private wallets, according to the PTIO founder himself. PTIO donations were funnelled into PrivacyGuides.
