And perhaps sidestepping its own policy in the process.

    Have you considered that the person you consider smart is focusing all their brain power on their projects and they don’t have time to set up and maintain a website? That’s what discord is for, an easy, quick and dirty community aggregate

      That’s not what discord is for if you are doing anything where a big corporation wants to muscle you around.

      The lack of intelligence is thinking you can build a grey zone project in discord. It’s like saying you want to build a house but don’t want to pour a foundation. Like, good for you, focus on windows and paint, but you’re not gonna get anywhere.

      Easy quick and dirty are not acceptable when you are trying to build emulation software based on the products of a very litigious international corporation

      and thats also the reason why this project is now gone…

      also you are pretty much “paying” with all you information and since they started heavily monetizing Discord you will pay even more as they soon will start to sell you conveniences or essential features. Also Tencent you know, which is pretty much like Nestlé, so it should be avoided.
