Gamefaqs is still the best place to discuss individual games in terms of how active it is and it's organization.

Nice, non-Alt right-y places to talk about games with no ERA community?

For me, Reddit has been good on the smaller, less popular games side. I doubt it's like that for the more popular games.
The XboxEra Discord talks a surprisingly large amount about non-Xbox stuff.

Members are welcome to discuss piracy as a topic but keep in mind Era's rules on the subject as outlined in our General Guide.
I have enjoyed my time on PC Gaming ERA. What other more general ERA Discords are there I wonder?
Stuff I wanted to discuss is probably against TOS because depending on interpretation could be considered encouraging. Morality of piracy, piracy as a mean of medium preservation, piracy as a mean of marginalized to have contact to games and other stuff like that. The other day we had a thread about piracy, emulation and rom preservation that I thought it would be interesting to discuss with folks here but things went downhill and got locked fast.
Speaking of which, what I'd give for a chan-like imageboard with near resetera-level moderation and a friendlier community.
Discord is probably your best hope, but even on a good discord you'll often find that many people are afraid of the "SJW" boogie man. If you find a good server it's probably best not to discuss politics if you don't want to find out that many of the people your are sharing it with are actually jackasses.
I haven't had too many issues with discord and to a lesser extent Reddit. It seems theres a strong correlation with meme spam and alt right users. So if you find places that are more geared towards discussion, it tends to be moderated appropriately. The memeier subreddits and discords that I frequent I usually mute and just check in every so often and it seems to work for me.
ERA is pretty much the only active safe space regarding videogames. Some subreddits are decent though.
As many people have said already, try the discords. The Absolver discord is really good for deck building tips, finding some people to fight against, showing off fashion etc
yeah, wtf. not sure how gamefaqs is being cited as a safer place than reddit
if we strictly talking quality of the community from my experience even in the bigger subreddits at least there's a level of moderation which makes the experience less frustrating than gf
In the cases where it violates the general guide, it's best just to not bring it up.
Reddit definitely. Their sub Reddit are always heavily populated and don't think I have ever seen any alt right stuff.
Normally well moderated.
Normally well moderated.
Any good communities for general game discussion stuff? A lot of gaming communities are plagued with memes and really shallow responses / discussion.
My advice would be not to sort by most up voted as you will see a lot of memes etc.
I always sort by new and you get a lot of good topics then

Dude Neogaf is an alt right shithole now what are you talking about
This is probably a joke, but man, I feel so naive for believing that Neogaf could turn into a decent smaller community after the exodus. For some reason the people (person?) making the decisions there probably thought that there is more money to be made by pandering to all the bigots instead of actually fixing their shit and use this chance to improve.
