“don’t base your business around x” this is a logical conclusion when you get no support from the company. The rest of your edit isn't logical either. When a business stop doing business for you, you deem it unreliable. If x has been banned without recourse without doing anything that would be, obviously wrong, I would deem it unreliable.

My point was that this did not look like a business. It looked like a gaming server.

It is related to gaming, but we handle large amounts of money to keep our servers running, as well as providing revenue to Discord in the form of "boosts". It should be relevant to people running startups here.

Define: “large amounts of money” - there’s a difference between funding a $500/mo clan/guild VPS set-up vs a $20,000/mo SaaS start-up AWS invoice.

It's obviously not a venture capital funded startup, but it's far more than $500/month. We have dedicated servers all over the world and buy transit. And I'd still consider this to be relevant to Hacker News even if our expenses were only $100/month. Some startups don't even spend that much.
