        I genuinely don’t understand why some open source communities rely so heavily on Discord.

      The article says the code was not hosted on discord. Even if it was, the code does not infringe on any Nintendo copyright. Having a grudge against discord doesn’t make it fair to victim blame

        Discord hosted the community, not the code. And that community is now destroyed without even a chance to backup. And Discord can absolutely be blamed because people were warning that this would happen. This is as much a result of Discord’s centralized design as it is of Nintendo’s greed. Now the community has to be reestablished on a new platform from scratch.

          I only said it wasn’t ok to victim blame, I’m not at all saying discord is the victim.

            OK, I misunderstood it. However, this was something that people were warning about for a long time.
