Y Combinator invests in dozens of surveillance companies including Flock along with helping to enable them. Their moderators put their thumb on the scales at Hacker News actively supporting attacks on the GrapheneOS project including libel and harassment towards our team members.

Nearly every Hacker News thread about GrapheneOS has a dozen accounts posting blatant fabrications about it. There's a mix of fresh accounts and long term serial harassers who have engaged in years of personal attacks. We've talked to the HN mods and it's clear they support it.
Here's a typical example of a fresh account posting an absolutely ridiculous set of completely illogical and unsubstantiated attacks on GrapheneOS:

A long term account engaging in years of libel and harassment towards our founder then joins in with it.
Hacker News mods have directly refused to ban accounts repeatedly linking content on harassment sites with leaked personal information and fabricated stories aimed at directing real world violence towards people. They're clearly mainly there for Y Combinator's business interests.
Hacker News moderators micromanage the site and yet have chosen to permit years of vile personal attacks towards our team based around fabrications. It isn't simply that they're ignoring it but rather appear to have repeatedly intervened in a biased way supporting attacks on us.
@GrapheneOS the average ycombinator or hacker news commenter are a bunch of cockbags; It's like they want to be it/that.
Y Combinator is a front of the national security state so any project that is getting attacked by them deserves our full attention and support.
