or maybe some other terminology would be better? lots of people get confused when you ask them to choose an instance, sometimes I think even the word “proxy”, “host”, or “hub” is simpler
the specific terms aren’t my point, just a discussion to see if we can come up with a better name
It may have been inspired by earlier chat systems where a server served a similar purpose?
Right. Discord is IRC-like, but all of the “servers” are just a logical separation within Discord.
Thanks I never understood what a server was in discord…
