[–] Pietson@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) 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 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] tesseract@beehaw.org 14 points 2 years ago (2 children) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 4 points 2 years ago They are saying comment OP is blaming the user for using Discord, not Discord. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Pietson@kbin.social 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) I only said it wasn't ok to victim blame, I'm not at all saying discord is the victim. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] tesseract@beehaw.org 1 point 2 years ago OK, I misunderstood it.
