    Prism Launcher is made by the dev team behind PolyMC, who got kicked off by a rogue maintainer. More Info: https://www.pcgamer.com/minecraft-launcher-project-spins-out-of-control-after-dev-hijacks-it-to-fight-leftist-queer-ideology/

    Just a PolyMC fork with no special features. From my experience they are also less welcoming community.

    Prismlauncher continues to be actively developed while PolyMC stagnates, apart from infrequent bug fixes.

    Also kaspian is a dev on PolyMC (which without Warning kicked almost the entire Dev Team), so it's a bit rich of him talking about "welcoming communities"
