Migration from PolyMC about prismlauncher HOT 37 CLOSED

Honestly I think this really exemplifies just how responsible the FOSS community is and how it does not tolerate any sort of transphobia, racism, sexism, or any other form of bigotry. Within a matter of hours of the rogue-ing, announcements went out, some repositories dropped the package and some have stopped updating it, and a new fork was quickly created, with all the devs (except 1, obviously) jumping ship.

You guys rock.

I am gonna close this issue because Prism released 5.0 which means its usable now. If you still wanna comment about migration from PolyMC or anything related you are free to do so!

Will this project have any kind of system to prevent a single person from taking over the project?

Yes, definitely.

@Scrumplex @DioEgizio please lock this issue, its starting to get spammy and unnecessary.

I think it's worth changing the name of this issue as well to better summarize what happened

There's no malware too, you just need to replace meta thingy with either prism or new poly (you can find that one on discord)

never trust software no matter if dev is trustworthy or not btw

The Flatpak release is »safe«, for its maintainer is not lenny.

from prismlauncher.

Well, that’s a lil’ awkward, then.

The FAQ only speaks of v1.4.2, the last version before all this.

(E: This is me blindly assuming sharing info from the Discord here is fine.)

from prismlauncher.

i think that got fixed in 1.3.2

Seems like you'll also need a full rebrand of the entire project, not just name changes. What about stuff like logos, website design and stuff like that?

You shouldn't be talking about PolyMC anymore, you have to move on. it's a sad fate for PolyMC but we shouldn't be thinking about it anymore.
