This was really interesting! But its really sobering to see how central Twitter is to this story - with it circling the drain, theres a risk that amazing games propped up by exciting and innovative community management like this, Trombone Champ, or Cult of the Lamb, wont get the reach they deserve

Cool talk! Some interesting insight.

Hearing that making a separate discord for another language might be a good idea, feels weird to me. From my admittedly fairly limited experience, that never ends well. Not only do you lose "control" over company messaging, even if you have a community manager for that other discord, each discord server has its own "vibe" so if you are trying to communicate your game in one way, the other server might not follow that same style.
Not to say that very rarely people are active in multiple discords about the same topic and tend to just choose one, and only be a member in the other where they occasionally check, so you are effectively splitting your community into multiple groups.
