LineageOS vs /e/OS? (piefed.social)

I am wondering what is better for both privacy AND security, I already installed Lineage but I'm fine with switching to /e/OS.
I've heard Lineage isn't good for security, but I know very little about /e/OS.
The phone is a moto g power 2021 so it doesn't support GrapheneOS.

Copyingy my other comment here about e/os:

e/os is the worst "private" mobile OS. It is just a LineageOS with a bunch of proprietary crap. Their STT even uses OpenAI as a provider.

Also Murena founder has made some diabolical claims about exploits about how they aren't developing their OS for "pedos":

However, we don't have a "hardened security" approach, we aren't developing a phone for pedo(censored) so they can evade justice.

Just FYI, xcancel no longer works as of September of this year.

There are still some working Nitter instances, though: https://status.d420.de/

I would like a source, but if this is true, I'll stick with lineage.

It seems like they've changed it after the backlash though.
