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.”

what is pypush? is that the tool used for initial registration on non-mac devices? That's what I'm getting from the github page: https://github.com/JJTech0130/pypush
So are these users registering imessage accounts on non-apple hardware and then using apple hardware with that account? Seems strange.
/edit the mods responded here saying that the user is known for spreading misinformation. So they're not just banning a random person for saying this. Fyi I'm not banned yet.
/edit2 the user kugo10 is saying that the bans are everywhere but at least one user in that thread is saying their VM was banned but their iphone was fine and able to use imessage.

That’s a lot of confidence for being very wrong.
Immediately defensive, checks out why you would have shown up in the comments.
Is that your best defense? You think people should take your stupid comments laying face down? You want people to be nice and sugarcoat things when you're wrong, maybe don't be as direct, confident and abrasive as you are.
Did I mention you were wrong?
Do you have a source for that? Bozo.
lol. Look at you. Putting people to work left and right.
How’s that working out for you? Actually don’t answer. I really don’t care. Not enough to read your reply or hit backspace on this comment.
Wow, so you don't care enough to reply but have been replying all along, very interesting. It's almost as if you ... care? Amazing.
Shh
Baby forgot his words? 😢
Nope.
