IGN was able to confirm the update on GitHub, the page.gg and GitHub file, but the original Discord message screenshot in GamingonLinux's report saying LennyMcLennington removed contributor permission from those who were "promoting radicalist leftist queer ideology" didn't show up in our initial searches, meaning it may have been deleted or posted in a private channel on the server, but is still unconfirmed as of this writing.įollowing the takeover, Minecraft community members are urging others to switch to a different launcher, both on an ideological level and as a precautionary measure. When the update went live, members of the Minecraft community initially thought this was due to a security issue and that the main keyholder had been compromised, but LennyMcLennington has since posted an update on the PolyMC Discord (which IGN has verified) that links both a paste.gg page and GitHub file signed with their PGP signature saying their accounts were not compromised, and they were “just not hiding what believe anymore.” According to a report from GamingonLinux, the owner, who goes by the username LennyMcLennington on the developer hosting site GitHub, revoked these contributors’ permissions yesterday alongside an update titled “reclaim polymc from the leftoids.”
