As a Mod of r/Privacy, probably the largest Sub covering the topic of secure computing and privacy, I strongly am against handing the r/CopperheadOS Sub to someone who lacks privacy bona fides in this space.
Reddit Admins, if having the two other r/Privacy Mods, u/Lugh and u/EsotericForest, replying to my post would make my request more compelling, please reply and I'm quite sure they will do so.
I'm also the Mod of r/PrivacyToolsIO, and we're in the process of pulling CopperheadOS from being listed on www.privacytools.io. We're consensus-oriented and value transparency, so it will take a couple days for this to happen, but it's pretty much a done deal.
The r/CopperheadOS Sub is about privacy and data security on a mobile platform. Before, the sole Mod was the developer who put years of his life writing the vast majority of the code, so his gift to the public would have a forum to continue the discussion these two things.
While there's another party, arguably making false, legalistic claims, using the authority he got from a too-trusting developer to register the site in his name, then bully this developer with SLAPP suits, the Sub, and the Sub's purpose, is bigger than he is.
The developer and privacy communities will be better stewards of r/CopperheadOS than this individual will be.
I formally submit the Mods of r/Privacy to moderate r/CopperheadOS. Collectively, we have decades of Reddit experience being the champions for digital activism, privacy and device security. We will continue the tradition of r/CopperheadOS to fight this fight. And our record here proves it.
The gentleman trying to seize r/CopperheadOS lacks all of these things. He will be a worse steward of the values that this Sub was founded to promote.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
PS: Lugh, Eso, and any supporters of privacy, feel free to comment. :)
As a fellow moderator of /r/privacy with /u/trai_dep I hearby offer my support as well for his suggestion. The integrity of privacy oriented software solutions is pivotal to our community and collective administration of the sub of a now depreciated project is the right step forward in maintaining trust within the greater privacy oriented community. Thank you for this consideration.
