Comment on Discord is nuking Nintendo Switch emulator devs and their entire servers
Pietson@kbin.social 8 months agoThe 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.

They are saying comment OP is blaming the user for using Discord, not Discord.

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.
