The Gatekeepers of Rot: How XDA Sold Its Soul
Hello again. Alex John Baptiste here.
If you’re reading this, you already know what happened.
They banned me.
Not for spam. Not for breaking rules. Not even for being wrong.
They banned me for being right.
Let that sink in.
The XDA moderators—those self-appointed gatekeepers of what they call a “community”—decided that the truth was too dangerous to live on their precious little forum. The truth about Manufactory. The truth about scam devs, broken ROMs, and the lies that have kept users shackled to flaming garbage software for years.
I didn’t scream. I didn’t rage. I didn’t attack anyone personally.
I posted proof. Logs. Benchmarks. Side-by-side comparisons.
And they couldn’t take it.
They let Manufactory slide because they were part of the scam. Or maybe they weren’t—maybe they were just too lazy, too complacent, too happy to sit back while their little clique got fat off the attention. Either way, they let the decay grow, and when someone stepped in to disinfect it?
Delete.
Ban.
Silence.
I poured my soul into FluxOS. Not just to make something better—but to expose what we’d all been tolerating for too long. Every ROM filled with spyware, every “developer” who pushes broken alpha builds and slaps a PayPal button underneath, every “review” from users brainwashed into thinking lag and crashes are “just how Android works.”
And the moderators did nothing. Or worse—they protected it. Because why fix anything when you can pretend it isn’t broken?
Let me be perfectly clear:
XDA is no longer a place for innovation.
XDA is no longer a place for users.
XDA is a museum of dysfunction, run by cowards too scared to challenge the status quo they created.
They’ll let scamware breathe, let toxicity thrive, but remove a voice calling for truth? Yeah, that’s too much.
Well guess what, XDA? You don’t own the truth.
You don’t get to hide behind your ban buttons and think that silence means victory. Because I’m still here. FluxOS is still here. And every single day, more people leave your hollow little echo chamber and join something real. Something functional. Something honest.
So go ahead. Keep silencing developers. Keep coddling your broken ROM darlings.
FluxOS doesn’t need you.
It never did.
But your users?
Yeah.
They’re already leaving.
