Non toxic mobile privacy community (sh.itjust.works)

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.

It's sad that so many good projects is plagued by this crap. Like did we forget about the whole "respect other people's opinions" thing?

I cant say if we have forgotten it or not, but it sure looks like we don't want to hear about it very much.

It's all turned binary (pun intended): you're with us or you're against us, either you're good or you're evil (and then, you deserve to be eliminated). Which is as saddening as it is is... stupid.
