Show HN: Beeper Mini – iMessage Client for Android

I agree. After receiving a C&D from Meta for my OSS project (along with some other maintainers from some other projects) I strongly believe adversarial interop is a basic digital right that is required to fulfil the broken or revoked promises of web 2.0

If you know anybody that can help please let me know because I want to get back to maintaining the project.

Did you contact specific organizations such as FSF, EFF, etc and/or specialized lawyers? There were well known people defending itself or being plaintiffs. For example, https://cr.yp.to/export.html

What is the project? On what grounds did they C&D you?

Here's a write up of the legal threats timeline to our projects and how it coincides with their in house development of an npm package:

They sent us C&Ds based on ToS.

Meta has done this before to insta and android devs.

Some never came back to their projects. It causes insane amount of stress and depression amongst the devs I've spoken with who went through the same thing.
