Thanks for the advice!
I'm actually considering making a Discord server, but I'm worried that running it would eat up a lot of my development time and resources, so I'm still honestly on the fence about it.
I'll talk it over with some trusted friends.
As for the ban issue, I've been thinking about it too.
If publishing here looks too risky, I might give up on browser play and just distribute a PC version instead.
What do you think?
