Dear gamedevs: please stop hosting your communities on Reddit and/or Discord and get an actual forum. You player-base can cope with it, trust me.
@Tadano How has Discord replaced wikis?
@MasterSimper @Tadano Okay, that makes sense. I actually have noticed that with video game proto archive communities, even mods and hacks are distributed through Discord.
I've also noticed that people are using Google Docs in place of wikis as well, like these people can't even host a wiki on Fandom (which is already a bad choice in its own right).

@xianc78 @MasterSimper @Tadano using discord for mods, particularly nintendo ones, is actually a pretty good idea because it keeps them out of the public eye and they're less likely to be taken down.
@Tadano @beardalaxy @MasterSimper Matrix has it's own flaws. I recommend XMPP.

Tor hidden services, I2P, Usenet, forums that require login in order to view, other chat protocols. There are a bunch of other options.
Also if the ROM hack in question is a patch, then it falls under fair use.
