      > But they often choose to denigrate others, which is destructive, damages relationships

      It used to be like that (and to be fair, all the similar communities were contributing to the drama, not just GOS), I agree, but I genuinely feel like it has become a lot more professional lately. Like I haven't seen drama in... at least 6 months?

      Now I almost exclusively see them explain their technical decisions, which is very interesting.

         The OP denigrates Google.

            Oh sorry, I thought you were talking about something else. Well... yeah IMO Google deserves it as it (as a company) is predatory.

            Don't get me wrong, there are brilliant engineers at Google and I'm glad they are paid to contribute to open source projects like Android. But it doesn't make Google less evil.

            And criticising a company is very different from "denigrating people". I don't think that the Google entity has feelings, does it?

               If you have a relationship with a business, try publicly denigrating them and see what the response is. Google the entity has a reputation, and that affects their revenue and reflects strongly on the people who work there - 'Google' means something on a resume.

                  Google’s relation with GrapheneOS is: make their lives harder by moving kernel trees from Git to Google Drive with a form that sometimes doesn’t get processed in weeks; block tap-to-pay and a bunch of apps with Play Integrity; closing the AOSP trees and only do major release and QPR2 drops; remove Pixel device trees etc. from AOSP even though they were sold as reference devices.
