PolyMC, a Fork of MultiMC which was made partially because of bigotry in the lead Dev of MultiMC but mostly because of the slow merge time and authoritarian abuse of it's owners just imploded. A Maintainer who had stayed "quiet" about his dislike of "queer leftist ideology" but also hated the development speed of MultiMC joined form the beginning but contributed effectively nothing to the project aside form maintaining the AUR package. But recently he gained enough access to kick all the active Devs form the github Org account and repos and proceeded to nuke the Discord server and get it raided by childish 4chaners.

Back in May this user concern trolled about the Code of Conduct on the project but met push back. https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/pull/601

Today he single-handedly killed the project. https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/commit/ccf282593dcdbe189c99b81b8bc90cb203aed3ee

    The non-chud group has reorganized under the name PrismLauncher for anyone interested.

    https://github.com/PrismLauncher/PrismLauncher

    This will definitely be my launcher of choice as I was a former PolyMC user over MultiMC due to its ability to still download Curseforge modpacks after Curseforge tried to close that functionality (and MultiMC complied with that request initially causing PolyMC's existence).

      Thanks for linking, I've been trying to figure out what the replacement is. Nothing else really comes close to multimc and its forks.
