It always sounds strange when someone is talking about a "server" after creating a chat channel on a glorified IRC-fork.


TBF server is what discord calls it. And a discord server can contain a multitude of channels with fairly extensive individual customisation.

So it goes quite a bit further than “a chat channel”.

They changed all the user facing docs to "server" a while back. Internally the code might still say "guild", but officially they've embraced calling them servers.
