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.”

    Yeah, and? That still doesn’t excuse anyone breaking into their system against their will.

    Did you also feel the same way about Steam shutting down the gambling sites that gambled with CSGO skins? Steam garden walled their product and forced everything done their way. The consumer chose to gamble their real money on video game pixels, why did Steam have the right to shut that down?

    You are free to disagree with Apple’s ecosystem, but don’t try to convince me you wouldn’t do the exact same if you were in Apple’s shoes, or try to convince me you didn’t celebrate Steam shutting down gambling just because you personally disagree with the idea of gambling on CSGO skins.

      You seem to be making the assumption that because I disagree with the walled garden that I agree with breaking it. I believe both are wrong.

      I agree with steam shutting down the gambling sites and I am against steam for having the lootboxes in the first place.

      There is a concept of not agreeing with either side as both are bad options.
