@haxie It logically follows when other members are threatening to kick you out and being hostile. Well I would browse more, there is very much evidence and being very unreasonable. It's just drama at the end of the day, I wouldn't fault either party too much.

He didn't do anything that's true. But from what we've seen from other members and the slander, one has to be on guard for someone in a position like that and could be biased.

Everyone is biased, but I'm not heavily, very much in the middle. A creator is biased towards his project and that's why it makes sense giving them access. Oh are they now? Glad you're the arbitrator of morals and authority here, lmao. You are doing the same thing I was doing, actually worse I never called anyone names. I would check your own behavior until you try to take the moral high road, and that's the end of it.

@hockeymikey my bad on the name, and with regards to malware... You can't say that for certain. Removing the 9 other members of the org and going on a tirade is not the actions of someone who can be predictable and follow logic. A member of the group kicked 9 other staff members out, stole the org, the funding, and the dicsord guild, went on a tirade about why being asked not to harass people is political, and seemingly had been compromised, that his account was not compromised, but this was him? That's more worrying. I've seen 0 evidence of them threatening to kick him out, and given there were 9 of them, and there was one of him, and he is not the only co-founder, yes, if things came to that, he would be the one to leave, not them.

You can claim that Scrumplex is malicious all you like, but when it comes down to it, Scrumplex is the well-respected community leader who has been salvaging the remnants after a child had a temper tantrum. By that logic, giving it to you or to Lenny would also be bad, as you're both biased. At the end of the day, Lenny and his actions are not tolerated here, and that's the end of that. Take your concerns elsewhere, as this is not the place to claim that a community member is malicious with no proof of that.

@haxie It's hockeymikey, not hockeymickey. There will never be malware, this claim and idea that there will be is false and misguided. The co-founder kicked people for differing opinions of direction in the project. They were threatening to kick him out first though. It's a lot of drama but I don't think Scrumplex has user's interest at heart, he is very biased since is in the other camp of this situation. I'm not blaming him, I would be too. And we don't know the state of either project, that will be seen with time.

@hockeymikey given Scrumplex is the maintainer of 40 packages, is a part of the deevelopers who made PolyMC in the first place, and has been an active and reliable source of help and development in the community for years, no. Him having control of the package is not strange nor suspicious. Please stop insinuating that Scrumplex is out to cause harm, when Scrumplex and the other developers have acted in good faith throughout this whole coup.

@AgentLoneStar007 I wouldn't take hockeymickey's word at face value there. the distinction being made is that right now at this very moment, there is no malware in the repos or being served up that we know of, but a single, inactive member of a group, who has contributed little more than readme changes, and approving PRs, suddenly taking over the organization, kicking out all the active developers, and going on an unhinged tirade about the many questionable things he has said, and the highly questionable choices in discord admin staff (one makes a discord token stealer) raises the question of if the person willing to destroy all credibility a project has, and kick out all the people who maintain the project, knowing he has no idea how to maintain the project himself, then what else will he do?

With regards to features that PolyMC lacks, all of the developers for PolyMC were kicked and so formed Prism Launcher, which is where all the updates and feature improvements will go from now on, and has the benefit of not having brought the ire of Microsoft, Mojang, Curseforge and etc. Prism Launcher has developers, PolyMC has Lenny, who's scared off anyone who would be willing to work on the code with the blatant anti-FOSS behaviour and suspicious/malicious actions.

@hockeymikey Thanks for the clarification. I'll reinstall PolyMC for now, but I'll keep an eye on PrismLauncher, in case it has any features PolyMC lacks.

Amazing how many problems MultiMC and it's forks have caused.

Scrumplex has probably done the most for PolyMC amongst all the contributors, and he still has everyone's best interests at heart.

Y'all need to check yourselves, before you wreck yourselves.

@AgentLoneStar007 Yes the package is safe. Anyone saying it isn't is very incorrect.

@Scrumplex No, you are not keeping users safe. You're not involved so make it more suspicious you maintaining if anything. If safety was a concern a third party, like myself, would be involved to maintain who isn't in the mix of the drama like you are.

PlaceholderMC is now https://github.com/PlaceholderMC/PrismLauncher.

Dev builds are starting to be released. Seems like people have very quickly distanced themselves from this whole thing

AgentLoneStar007 commented on 2022-10-18 12:20 (UTC)

Alright, first off, is this package safe? And secondly, should I consider a switch to another launcher? I've heard that PolyMC maintainers have switched to a fork called PlaceholderMC.
