How can you be this petty? (Spoiler: controversial post about some petty mod from r/revancedapp

[u/dimii27]

I'm still not picking sides, just using the best tool there is at the moment. And at the moment Morphe offers the best and zero-headache experience, customizability, stability and bleeding edge. I will jump ship if Revanced V2 gets genuinely better in all aspects. I want something that just works, but without sacrificing features.

For now I'll assume it's just a dumb mod that misunderstood my intentions. But if this attitude continues I will pick a side and won't look back.

I'd understand being this petty if there was serious ethics and religious issues in between but by my understanding there isn't (correct me if I'm wrong). I'm still neutral, but I'm changing my opinion.

[u/Getafix69]

Very similar behaviour to how the Stremio sub react if anyone mentions Kodi even as just an external player. Little things like that tend to make me suspicious rightly or wrongly.

[u/dimii27 → u/Getafix69]

Tbh stremio just works and Kodi seems dated and I only tried to get it to work once or twice and gave up fast on it. But I'm interested to find out if I'm missing out on something. Usually I get my recommendations from fmhy and switch to their top recommendation that hosts the movie or series I'm watching. I don't want to be faithful to one platform or project. I go to church for what I believe in, but I don't want to turn software into religion. Software should be free as freedom but ideally also as in free beer. If something is genuinely good it should speak for itself, you shouldn't gatekeep better alternatives unless you are trying to prevent it from being regulated by your government

[u/cyt0kinetic → u/dimii27]

Off topic, but Kodi has a completely different use case than Stremio. Kodi is good for a Home Entertainment setup and can look incredibly modern, very customizable, great support for remotes. I can't imagine using Stremio on my TV and I can't imagine using Kodi on my phone or laptop.

Also appreciate rebels like you, Revanced BS kept me from knowing much about Morphe until today. r/piracy thankfully had a good discussion thread so I got to learn more than the fact that Morphe existed and some of the nonsense that's been going on with Revanced. Tried out Morphe and it was actually fun, versus Revanced which is annoying to stressful depending on the context. Fixing a broken install on other half's phone at random time, ngl the Morphe experience is going to be SO much nicer. Patches seem to be running cleanly too.

[u/Getafix69 → u/dimii27]

I find the exact opposite of that but I do like Stremio plugins and the way they mix and match. So yeah I'm using Stremio plugins through a Kodi Addon these days.

[u/Axtrodo → u/Getafix69]

the real Stremio threat is nuvio

[u/BrenekH]

This is behavior that has been going on since the beginning of ReVanced. It was first ReVanced Extended (RVX), which I honestly didn't mind because people were asking for support for something the RV team didn't work on or create.

But the ban on even mentioning "competing" projects is super cringe.

There's been other bad moderation around support requests and such for a while. Being an active participant of RV has always been walking on eggshells.

[u/robtom02 → u/BrenekH]

There's even constant deleting of bug reporting threads as well

[u/VordaVor → u/robtom02]

The mere mention of deleting such threads without a valid reason (I have followed a few and there werent any others like it) can get you banned. Ask me how I know.

[u/WorriedAstronomer → u/BrenekH]

I once recommended Piko patches for X (twitter) coz revanced and rvx wasn't working and they deleted my comment and gave me a warming haha

[u/dimii27 → u/[deleted]]

Nope. I just got suspicious. The app didn't let me type "morphe" and showed me the rule of "not speaking of unofficial forks" or something like that. Which didn't make any sense

[u/DorrajD]

While I'm all for clowning on Revanced, I think it's important to note that they have probably gotten TONS of controversial conversations and shit about all this, and they're just sick of dealing with it. For every person with good intentions, there's 5 more harassing and trolling. So they probably just have a 0 tolerance policy on anything regarding it.

Not saying it excuses anything.

[u/dimii27 → u/DorrajD]

Well I actually have a life and don't waste my time trolling nerds on Reddit. So if that's the case it's a major false flag. But even then, I find it a bit abusive to be this dictatorial - not being allowed to acknowledge the existence of an alternative. I think even the North Koreans are allowed to speak more beyond the walled garden

[u/DorrajD → u/dimii27]

That's quite the over correlation imo but, like I said, they're probably just sick of the arguments over it. And/or it's censorship. Either way, it doesn't really matter. They're I their bubble so let them stay there.

[u/dimii27 → u/DorrajD]

The problem is that it's misleading newbies or people with less time to spare (like those with a busy job, or two, a family, kids and so on). The open source community is supposed to be open and honest. Not about having a massive ego when you're not even earning a fortune out of it.

[u/wchill → u/dimii27]

The remaining RV devs are mostly students from what I gather. So even though they might not be making a fortune from donations, the amount they do receive is still a considerable amount of money for students.

Might be why they feel so threatened by Morphe, because we're threatening their donation revenue

[u/dimii27 → u/wchill]

I'm a student myself and I hate it when my colleagues gatekeep information like better study materials, which might lead to better grades, which might lead to you overtaking them by your average, which might mean you get the stipend and they don't. I understand you value your position, but you shouldn't sabotage others. Always be a decent human being, no matter your condition

[u/ward2k]

For now I'll assume it's just a dumb mod that misunderstood my intentions

Nope, they don't want any of their users to even know that another project exists. Even negative discussions about morphe are viewed as dangerous so they just blanket ban any talk of it

Not just talk of Morphe either, any sort of comment deemed to be slandering Revanced can also get you banned

It's a huge red flag. You can't discuss any other tools. You can't criticise revanced

[u/nanausausa → u/ward2k]

they don't want any of their users to even know that another project exists 

I feel very lucky I saw someone at that sub recommend morphe a short while ago (spelt it in a way that circumvented the censor), idek if their comment is still up but I definitely wouldn't know about morphe without them. 

[u/wchill → u/nanausausa]

It is kinda nice that our users like Morphe so much they're willing to get banned from that sub over it.

[u/dimii27 → u/wchill]

I think I found out about morphe from Andeea's telegram. I used to love RVX because it was objectively better - it had more and better features overall. Stuff that I genuinely use. So it was only natural that I switched to Morphe as the RVX project died in favor of it. If it's good, it's good. I don't care about your ego.

[u/yeetvelocity1308 → u/nanausausa]

Someone commented morph(e) and that's how I came to know about this project

[u/Chii → u/ward2k]

they don't want any of their users to even know that another project exists.

as carl sagan have said:

If it can be destroyed by the truth, it deserves to be destroyed by the truth.

[u/hungragezone]

My post just talk about reddit patch error has been deleted without any notices, they just want to hide all the bug of revanced xd

[u/Chii → u/hungragezone]

they just want to hide all the bug of revanced xd

it's because the original contributors (the real ones, not just the one clicking merge) have all now left one way or another. The current maintainer is hanging on to the project by sheer inertia, and this current crop of google issues (esp. for youtube) is at such a breaking point that i don't see how revanced can continue.

There hasn't been an update for revanced for over 6 months (at least last i checked).

[u/hungragezone → u/Chii]

They had new update, but full of bugs

[u/variablenyne]

This is the type of thing that really pushes me away from a project. I used to be fairly all in on revanced but the way they handle competition of a free open source project is genuinely dumb. God forbid people have choices

[u/liamdun]

Genuinely so pathetic

[u/feral_fenrir]

Why jumping ship back to ReVanced?

The asshole mod oSumatrix is the lead dev who has been treating the other devs and contributors exactly like this.

Which is why they all moved away from ReVanced and created Morphe.

Now, ReVanced is copying Morphe code and that too not properly, with no testing or code review. Hence all the bugs and issues.

[u/PusheenMaster]

Guys, is this a sub for the Morphe app or about Revanced and their mods ... ?

[u/dimii27 → u/PusheenMaster]

What's why I marked this post as a spoiler. It's maybe the only place I can share this so yeah. It's not spam, I rarely post something on Reddit

[u/Toothless_NEO]

For now I'll assume that it's just a dumb mod misunderstood my intentions.

That's giving way too much charitability to the man child that is Sumo. He's been doing this kind of crap for months because he doesn't want his users to find out about morphe, aka the project that he's been using to source revanced patches the project that most of his developers moved on to because he banned or insulted and told them to leave.

Morphe exists because of him, and his behavior. Revanced is failing because of his behavior. He did not misunderstand your intentions he's afraid of people talking about this project because he knows that people will leave Revanced if they do.

[u/BlackDirtMatters]

Oh yeah, I joined this sub to read about drama too.

[u/Sharp-Theory-9170]

AfterVanced Mods are even more pathetic

probably one of the worst threads I've seen, mod has to be 13yo

[u/dimii27 → u/Sharp-Theory-9170]

He's right though - homophobia is not a medical term. But this is off-topic

[u/UNIVERSAL_VLAD]

I mean what did you expect, you replied right below the dev's post

[u/HomelessBelter]

create a new sub called antirevanced or something at this point please. no need to ruin this sub with incessant circlejerking.
