I often revere the people who can do smart shit.
I really shouldn’t. Using discord is dumb. Using discord for a switch emulator, while Nintendos lawyers are waking around with their cocks out is stupid.

MODERATORS
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
While there's truth in your words, there are alternatives that require little effort. Even a IRC channel would have been better.
Discord is not only a terrible bad application, it's the equivalent of writing posts on medium. If and when they decide to gatekeep your content, there's nothing you can do.
Or matrix which is far more modern and user friendly than IRC.

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

What I hate most about this is how they now moved to Rocket Chat.
Come on people. Use a forum. Get the message, finally. Do it!
I'm pretty sure most of people who mainly use discord as their main social apps probably never touched forum-based internet.
Hosting your own forum is also better as you (the owner of the site) can still retrieve the msgs as long as you still have the access to the host server (so you can back them up in case shutting down, then going to resurfacing later).
Not to mention using discord is already risking yourself because of their shitty policy.

And it’s a million times better for people trying to troubleshoot.
1 forum post can solve many problems, rather than having to have each person ask in a support chat that’s not searchable.

I hope Nintendo is able to make emulation illegal once and for all and end all this. People really shouldn't be allowed to run whatever software they want, they should only be allowed to run Microsoft Windows and the fun games they include on the bonus disc
You got me in the first half
Think you forgot the /s
/s is for cowards! I will never!

I'll reinforce my comment from months ago: I have the latest version of Yuzu, the keys, the firmware, the Linux and Windows versions, and links to ROM sites, and I'll distribute them forever to whoever asks in my DMs. I packaged them in a simple .zip with easy to follow instructions.
That said, why simply not use Ryujinx? Even on the Steam Deck performance is very good nowadays. Super Mario Wonder plays at 60 FPS on the Deck (though you need to enable a very simple mod that disables some weird function the game runs, otherwise it drops to 30 FPS all the time). In fact, for AMD GPUs, you're doing yourself a huge favor by going Ryujinx over Yuzu and derivatives.
Ryujinx is solid, accurate and well known, it's a trusted emulator. The Yuzu forks are unknown, managed by non experienced people (one was quite literally created by a teenager with zero coding knowledge) and extremely ephemeral.

You've never seen someone clap between every word trying to get their point across?
I have, but the clapping made me think their point wasn’t well thought out.

Good discord is trash.
Discord is the antithesis to free web. Stop using it. I won't join any community using discord.
Oh yeah, and fuck Nintendo

Even beyond the point of "using discord". Nintendo is reaching harassment levels of assholism. Are they doing even worse that with Gaty Bowser?
They should just spin up their own Lemmy instance
Yeah, and a Matrix instance
They don't really need a chat though, do they? For their purpose of user-interfacing development and tracking, a forum would be much more useful when coupled with a code hosting system, no?
Can do bug reporting/tracking and development through the latter, while the former allows discoverable FAQ, dev-to-user and user-to-user support. With chat, the last point is just about impossible plus it's not discoverable.

Why is this much of this a problem for them—discord shouldn't be an essential piece of the puzzle for an emulator project
Potentially completing someone's lemmy bingo card here, but it's relatively easy to self-host any tools you need

Discord is a shit, always was shit. Shitty platform, shitty (electron) apps.
I don’t want to get victim blamey, but…
If they REALLY want it to be like discord, why not use Revolt?
I don't understand.
One that really ticked me off was that "the legend of zelda ocarina of time" pc build "ship of harkinian".
I have never had such a tough time installing something. You have to do everything through their discord and it was a complete fucking mess.

Matrix is a better Discord.
Privacy-wise sure, but feature-wise it has some work to do.

"We will repeat in every sentence that we are not a for-profit emulator, we'll be fine!"
Yeah.
