I think he was saying the project doesn't align very well with the
*Debian* Code of Conduct (https://debian.org/code_of_conduct).

To me the main issue is the fact that a known hostile entity has sole
control over the meta severs that PolyMC interfaces with to download and
execute arbitrary code, also potentially leaking personal information. I
don't feel comfortable having that on my system, and I think most Debian
users would agree. I don't at the moment want to support this current
upstream by uploading their potentially hazardous package into Debian.
