Migration from PolyMC

[sheeepdev]

PolyMC founder went rouge, please uninstall PolyMC OR change the metaserver as seen here:

FAQ:

Are minecraft accounts safe?

Yes, from what we know
Don't update PolyMC from now on

Are Microsoft accounts fine?
Yes, that's controlled by Scrumplex specifically

New discord: https://discord.gg/hX4g537UNE

[AetherXSN]

got it

[LinusKerman]

Name it PrideMC or something gay related lol

[Scrumplex]

New meta server: https://meta.scrumplex.rocks/v1/

[Midou36O]

Can someone make a new matrix bridge for the new server? Seems like the polymc bridge got muted now too

[Scrumplex]

New new meta server: https://meta.prismlauncher.org/v1/

I will try to keep the old link up as well

Matrix bridge is planned. But we are focusing on getting a release out first

[Sebbl0508]

Could you pin this issue?

[Inderix]

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

[LZeugirdor]

Discord invite link is frozen for some reason and I can't join but I support what you guys are doing.

[KaspianDev]

Are you guys sure it was a hack?

[DioEgizio]

oh it wasn't

[Scrumplex]

May I ask who is the rouge leader?

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 M$ metaserver?

Oh sorry i meant auth ID thing, the new one from poly is posted on discord in news, theres also explaination of security concerns.

[DioEgizio]

lmao

[KaspianDev]

@KaspianDev is it enough to change msaid? I saw a new commit on pmc from mrlenny changing it

I don't know really, ask someone from poly or the new fork.

For copy-pasta:

• https://meta.prismlauncher.org/v1/
• c36a9fb6-4f2a-41ff-90bd-ae7cc92031eb

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

[Evrey]

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.)

[DioEgizio]

i think that got fixed in 1.3.2

New discord: https://discord.gg/hX4g537UNE

The link appears to be dead for me.

[Jeder321]

they removed the working link for some reason

Troll raids.

[Scrumplex]

New users can't join right now because of a raid

[ghost]

Stop saying he killed the project, he clearly fully intends on continuing development

[DioEgizio]

Stop saying he killed the project, he clearly fully intends on continuing development

just so you know, his contributions to polymc are marginable, and the reputation of polymc broke

[thatpix3l]

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?

[Scrumplex]

Currently being worked on

[TheOPtimal]

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.

[AliceDTRH]

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

[sheeepdev]

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!

[sheeepdev]

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

Yes, definitely.

[Midou36O]

This will also help avoiding the bus effect hopefully

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.

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