Crazy how most major #Minecraft modding-related projects had to be forked recently due to one of their maintainer’s “views”, always on the same topic
- We had PolyMC, we now have @PrismLauncher
- We had Fabric, we now have @quiltmc
- We had Forge and it was just freshly forked into NeoForge, 3 whole months after LexManos’ twitter likes have become known to the public.
In 100% of these cases, the shitty maintainers were described as “dictatorial” way before their shitty takes were made public. This actually says a lot about how big projects like these should be maintained (and how problematic people can be identified early).
Quilt has explicitly moved to a much more decentralized governance system. NeoForge was forced two days ago and has yet to settle on these decision, but wishes to do the same.
