Its one thing to have a skid come in going "I wanna hack the RFID on the gubbmints's doors how can i do that?"

Versus "we forked the firmware to include a wide range of pentesting tools"

And then get banned for even saying the alternate firmware.

And seriously, this little thing is a wonderful hacker multitool. You can seriously fuck shit up with the hardware they included. For fucks sake, thats WHY they created it.

That's how you have to be on Discord, or else your guild gets banned from Discord. I wish we weren't using this crap. On IRC, sometimes you had to deal with cranky netops, but they mostly left you alone.

Absolutely nothing you said refutes anything in the comment you’re replying to. You are just reiterating “I’m angry and this is stupid”. Go write in your journal or something. It’s impossible to engage with someone who isn’t engaging themselves.

“Furries Forking Flipper Firmware” sounds like a promising and/or true and/or Garden-Path headline

Any advice on good communities or sources of (reliable) information on alternative firmwares and pen testing type tools?

IRC is still alive and there is bunch of communities around that are a bit more lax, probably because they're half-dead compared to what they used to be. Today probabably Libera.chat would be the best introduction if you haven't touched IRC before.
