Most of our users aren’t active on these social media platforms and don’t receive news about GrapheneOS beyond our release notes. Hundreds of thousands of people use it as a daily driver without closely following the project. We plan to reduce our dependence on these platforms.

We’ll be extending our Info app with a News section. It can have configurable categories so people only see the parts which interest them. We could also use the Info app to provide a way for people to volunteer to help us with categories of tasks and receive alerts about those.

We can migrate towards posting longer form content made available via our discussion forum and Info app. It can still be posted to these platforms but without relying on them so much. Our news posts don’t reach most of our users this way and it heavily limits how we can post too.

We aren’t saying we’re going to stop posting on these platforms. It means the posts on our timeline will shift towards being links to forum threads with longer form content. We can have proper formatting, edits and a more unified discussion primarily happening on our forum.
