    Violating the iMessage/iCloud user agreement can, yes, result in getting booted from the platform. It’s in the terms of service. It was a risk everyone took when using beeper.

      I too like to champion a trillion dollar company over what’s morally right!

        ah, yes, pointing out a simple fact = “championing” / taking a moral stance

        if i point out that it happens to be raining outside today, am i also “championing” the rain, claiming rain to be morally right?

        lol

          How do you know it’s against TOS or EULA to use your own credentials on your own Mac to send messages with your own apple ID in a secure way.

            i know it’s against the iMessage TOS to use the service in a way it’s not intended to be used or in a way of which Apple disapproves, as beeper does.

                No because I don’t use Beeper or have a iPhone or care about this really I just wanted to make annoying remarks in the comments and see if anyone dislikes the name “Beeper” as much as I do

            if it’s so shitty, why are they so obsessed with using the platform?

            the only thing they’re trying to bypass is owning an apple device to get onto iMessage.

    Can I just say that Beeper is the worst message app name I’ve ever heard? It fills me with inexplainable rage.

    At risk of sounding like a pretentious fuck, I do actually lose a tiny amount of respect for someone when I learn they have an iphone. It’s like baby’s first smartphone, great for elders and children.

      That IS pretentious as fuck. How shallow do you have to be to judge people based on what electronics they own?
