Look at what just happened to Yuzu - Years of community just deleted because of a few lawyers.
I haven't read the legal outcome, but wouldn't this have happened anyways if the forums were in other places? The github got removed as well
basic news is: Yuzu and citra agreed to shut down with immediate effect incl. discords.
At least with an open platform youd have a chance to backup discussions or rehost. You'd probably still be dead in the water but it would beat the info being wiped.
