This sounds like you were harassing a volunteer dev that had an actual direct interaction with a corporation based on hearsay and they rightfully blocked a troll that wasn't contributing anything meaningful or constructive to the project.
Social media is for socializing. They posted something in the lines of "we can't get graphics to work properly" and I sympathized with them about how hard it must be dealing with apples' dick moves.
I was just saying that your own description of events made you sound like a troll. I don't know the truth of the matter and frankly it's irrelevant. If they are working closely with Apple, those kinds of comments on what I assume was their own public forum are an unhelpful distraction at best and potentially detrimental to their corporate relationship with Apple. You could be %100 correct about Apple and the devs could %100 agree with your sentiment, but that doesn't mean that the social media forum they host is an appropriate place for that kind of discussion. It's not helpful for them and only has the potential to make their situation worse. They blocked you and moved on so they could focus on the project instead of the noise. Even if your intentions were good (and I do actually believe you meant well) I understand why they did what they did.
