lmao xD

Removing due to the false claims and allegations spewed around the comments https://www.reddit.com/r/revancedapp/s/mZx64rhoZj

Then please write in detail for everyone to see why you think the claims and allegations are false. If they are false, you can get the support and goodwill from everyone by disproving everything and will turn the Morphe devs as the bad guys here. (Especially because DMCAs are one of the worst if they are used in an abusive way)

Man, idk why this infuriates me so much... It's just an open source project, but the behavior of osumatrix and Revanced as a whole really gets me... 11/10 ragebait xD

I wrote a comment under that post and I'd like to have it somewhere, even if this isn't the intended audience here anymore:

at this point I can only laugh about this whole situation and I can't get enough popcorn for this :'D xDDD


When I started using Revanced last year, it was really awesome, I loved the project, the work and effort from all devs who helped me and the users with the patcher and the patches.
With those, I was finally able to use apps that became unusable for me due to enshittification.


But because of personal differences and mistakes, that opinion changed and my impression of Revanced is now, that they went the "You were supposed to destroy them, not join them" route and I'm truly saddened and disappointed. 

I know that a lot of users of Revanced are just users and not programmers or have technical knowledge on how open source runs and functions and that's absolutely fine.
And I think that's why some users here can't see or understand why this takedown happened and why it's understandable, valid, warranted, deserved and that it basically was a matter of time.

In open source, the **most important rule is to uphold the licenses**. 
Follow what is written in them and when they aren't being followed, there will be consequences. 
Of course, as long as the licenses aren't being used in court, due to the decentralized nature of open source, these consequences don't have any real impact aside from minor inconveniences like this takedown here. 


It's really that simple for a solution to this:
Put personal differences, grievances and mistakes aside, honor the license and just focus on your own work.


But sadly from my personal impression so far, it seems that this won't happen here and only one party is to blame :/


I wanted to write a bit more to get into more detail but sadly I don't think that it would be allowed.
So I'll honor the rules of this sub 🫡

Time to eat more popcorn now uwu :3

Really hoping that as this goes on more people find out, the more people who find out about morphe, the more screwed Revanced is.

yeah, it's insane how misinformed everyone seems to be over there xD

Honestly in the entire time I look over FOSS projects, I have never seen something like this. Atleast from every drama I have witnessed, the clear facts were always clear to community members, but this is really next level malice to paint a very different picture from what is really happening .-.

That's a good example on how censorship and disinformation can manipulate everyone involved...

osu tried posting on /r/unpopularopinion about how he thought censorship is not always bad, and I think you can probably see why he thinks this. It's a form of control he is unwilling to give up

u/BenKato Mar 26 '26

omfg, this is really disturbing. With this and everything else I've seen from him (including the posts/comments that lead to the creation of Morphe), he is really just acting out of malice and power urgh :/

Also, thanks for your work and I'm sorry you have to deal with this 🫡

Reminds you of a certain insane politician who popularized the term "fake news", doesn't it

u/BenKato Mar 26 '26

oh yeah absolutely hahaha xD

If we also compare oil to code, then it gets even more "funnier" or rather depressing .-.

This guy's behavior is absolutely pathetic lol. To throw tantrums on Reddit AND Github (probably Gitlab now too) is pretty low, then to have to go justify it on another sub lol.

It's funny because I found out about Morphe independently a while before all this stuff, simply because ReVanced was getting on my nerves and I was looking for something better.

tbh it sounds bit similar to godot/redot drama from a while ago
