We need to go back to pre-discord and bring back forums man. Don't get me wrong, discord has its uses, all my friends use it, but discord killing forums and websites was really bad for the internet as a whole. Like look at dolphin, made before discord, it has its own website, its own forums. Hopefully if Nintendo does ever come after dolphin they'll at least be able to keep the website and forums up.
I mean Nintendo would nuke the forums too.
Their lawyers don't fuck around. They're as bad as Disney.
Unless you're a forum hosted in someplace like the Netherlands or Russia you're in range for Nintendo's nukes.
You'd at least get a chance to migrate if you do daily backups. Not so with Discord.
Thats not what happens with a nuke - they threaten the owner and take everything: backups included.
That's why you don't backup on the same provider. You can always backup to the local system with encryption. And they can't attack the owner in every jurisdiction.
