Users report having their Apple hardware banned, Beeper responds by locking the discussion 😳
(lemmy.ml)
Update: it may be limited to those using a hackintosh in conjunction with beeperserv (the jailbreak tweak). Still kind of lousy of them to lock the reddit topic though…
Several users recently reported that after using pypush—the tool that Beeper paid $25,000 for in order to build Beeper Mini—Apple banned their genuine Apple hardware devices from accessing iMessage.
When their comments were shared to the r/Beeper subreddit, one of the mods whom Beeper appointed decided to lock the comments, citing the “need to investigate this further” and directing concerned users to “reach out to support through the appropriate channels.”

not a copy pasta, but also it's not just about iMessage, but apple in general. I couldn't care less about iMessage, but what I do care about is that big tech cannot keep acting like bullies.
In retrospect, I did write a bit too much for a lemmy comment, and it should've been a standalone article, but what's done is done
