The Maemo community is indeed open. The reason why people don't want other users to talk about red pill mode is because it's not meant for end users, can very easily (potentially) brick your device as well as make you lose all your data.

It isn't about censorship or trying to keep users from doing what they want on their phone. It's simply keeping them from possibly screwing up their new $600 investment and then complaining about Nokia/Maemo/maemo.org when they do.

So yes, we don't suggest normal users - those who are not interested in tinkering with their phones and possibly messing them up permanently - to follow those red pill steps.

So so so so soooooo many of the new blogs out there covering Maemo have been posting "how to get red pill mode" advertizing it as some magical "GET MORE APPZ NOW" button without telling them any of the risks.

Face it, the people making these complants were going to complain no matter what. If they didn't get the information, the community is closed and guarding secrets. And if he did get the info and bricked the device, the community here would be the first target of your rage... "why would the community want me to destroy my device?!? QQ"

Maemojedi... telling us the community is closed is laughable. If we have to endure little posts like this one because the community isn't freely sending you ROMs...
