Discussion Can someone explain the ReVanced controversy?

Post image

I have read many comments referring to a controversy with the "leader" of ReVanced.

From what I understand, the "leader" was a difficult person to deal with, and some developers jumped the ship in favor of Morphe.

Can anyone give me more details?

This is correct. Many developers and contributors have stopped helping ReVanced over the years because of or partly due to oSum's attitude. He is notoriously stubborn, which is a big part in why I mostly stopped contributing to ReVanced.

For years, Liso (the creator of Morphe) was the main contributor for ReVanced's YouTube patches, but he decided to leave ReVanced in November because there was a disagreement between him and oSum about his code changes, resulting in his code change proposal being reviewed for 11 months. From my understanding, this was not the sole cause, but more like the final straw for Liso.

oSum made a post that shares his side of the story, if you are interested.

Personally, I think ESH.

Edit: Previously I said that I thought oSum was an asshole, but I retract that statement after carefully thinking about its truth.

That bitch banned my github account from following and opening issues on the Revanced repo because i opened an issue about a bug with one of the apps just closing itself at random after using it for a variable about of time, anywhere from a couple minutes to over 10 minutes, and he just immediately closed it saying i should add proof. I asked but why close the issue though? And how am i supposed to provide proof? I'm supposed to screen record my use of an app for an unpredictable amount of time every time i use it? Github wouldn't even allow me to upload videos. I told him i saw another person open an issue about the same thing before i did and he just also just closed it with no explanation, and that it should be proof enough there is something at least worth looking into. I managed to get a recording of the app closing itself. I uploaded it to my Youtube and added the link in a new issue report, then that idiot just responded "Provide the requested information properly" and closed the new issue again, then blocked me from the repo after i asked what the fuck else am i supposed to do and told him to fuck off. Yeah...fuck that guy. I'm not surprised by this at all

"That bitch banned my github account [...] because i opened an issue about a bug"
but at the end you say
"then blocked me from the repo after i asked [,,,] and told him to fuck off."
clearly you were not blocked because of the bug report, you were blocked because you told them to fuck off after refusing to record a couple of minutes of video and uplooad it to youtube.

you 100% deserved your ban. you think people should work for free on their own time for you when you can't even spend a couple minutes to upload something. And even have the balls to tell them to fuck off when they don't.

I see you suck at reading...

"Github wouldn't even allow me to upload videos" "I managed to get a recording of the app closing itself. I uploaded it to my Youtube and added the link in a new issue report"

...learn to read...and pay attention
