And perhaps sidestepping its own policy in the process.

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.

The Netherlands is extremely docile to big business interests.

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.

I mean, Suyu already seems to be jumping to a different medium, so it sounds like this situation wouldnt have gone any differently had Suyu had their main support hosted anywhere else. Nintendo would have nuked any of the support locations, and Suyu would then have to jump to a new safe haven
