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.

@xianc78 Am declaring a fatwa on Discord, inshallah the pædo-troon furfags shall no longer devour what should be forums and wikis
@xianc78 @Tadano its where they keep the knowledge gathered from players in the discord and if you want access to the data you gotta join the discord, and well if they didnt want to get made fun of they wouldnt have a selfie channel.

@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.

@beardalaxy @xianc78 @MasterSimper yeah but being at the mercy of Discord's degenerate staff is atrocious. If one insists on the veneer of secrecy from using a Discuck server then why not just host a matrix instance. Hell Dendrite's at 100% federation parity with Synapse so you aren't stuck with Python soyware

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.
