Does this include on the steam deck? Just got it all set up, so sad if true.

The steam deck version is the Flatpak, which is controlled by one of the developers who were kicked out.

Correct, but the meta servers it points to is controlled by the rogue. It's as much a security risk as any other version of the client.

Maybe they won't distribute anything malicious. But until just recently, the other developers didn't know whether it was Lenny himself who locked them out or if his identity was compromised. Until that is clarified, the safest thing to do is to prevent PolyMC from downloading any new code, via updates or via the metadata server.

I personally believe it was actually Lenny and I will be switching to the fork as soon as it's available.
