So, how does all this apply to community discords, slacks, Matrix rooms, IRC chats, etc?

Is it discord's responsibility to comply, the admin/moderators, or all of the above?

Yes, at least for platforms like Discord, they bear the responsibility based on my non-lawyer reading of the plain English. YMMV, IANAL.

The hosting platform is responsible for compliance. For Discord or Slack it's easy, but for Matrix, it might be more fuzzy. Certainly the homeserver that is hosting a room would be responsible, but would other homeservers that have users who are members of the room also be responsible?
