# Anything GrapheneOS
Don't bother engaging in anything but sycophancy in posts/comments. They're watching. Not worth the mass karma hit/unjustified flags. Look at the 'grapheneos' and 'strcat' HN account history - a ton of reply-spam, constant accusations of being a victim, very little genuine conversation to be had.
Obvious GOS 'fans' who show up to every GOS post include: other8026, HybridStatAnim8, microtonal
On their Discord people are invited to opt-in to "to mentions for help addressing inaccurate media coverage of GrapheneOS". [0]

# Posts critical of big tech (FAANG etc)
They'll likely have a long top-level comment along the lines of "let me explain why this isn't quite right/not as bad as it seems". Just skip over that
