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.

Device support?

It's based on Lineage, so lots

Most of them older devices. This is not the fault of the Lineage OS devs, but companies just aren't allowing it anymore. So if you have a new device, Lineage OS is not an option, if you're in the US

Yeah, I want all my devices to run LineageOS and that limits me from lots of options to maybe 2 or 3 modern ones at reasonablish price points.

Thankfully I don't live in the US, it would be even more difficult as you said.
