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.”

Can we finally stop believing/repeating Apple’s lie that the blue bubbles are about security? It’s clearly and obviously about controlling their users.
Huh, I’ve never believed that. It’s super obvious that it’s a marketing gimmick.
It’s not even about controlling their users, it’s literally to sell phones. The most impressionable demographic are teenagers and young adults. Apple has sold them the idea that blue bubbles are cool and green bubbles are uncool. Thus people without blue bubbles are outsiders, which creates societal pressure to them to buy an iPhone.
lol yeah no. I don’t know of anyone who cares about blue vs green. It’s so not that deep. But yeah, it’s somehow about controlling users. 🙄
