Here’s a very simple PR fixing the issue.

I tried to find a fancy way to tackle this so that the devs don’t have to worry about the platform thing but didn’t find any. Happy to improve upon this if I find a better solution.

Also, a tip for devs, you can simply put the gem in discourse’s gemfile during development and not go insane. Only worry about all of this for deployment.
