Can somebody explain to me why discord calls its chatrooms "SERVERS" – and people "run their servers" there? Users don't own or run anything especially on that proprietary service, so… 🤔 ⁉️

@mray Fake federation. From what I hear the most concrete reason is because they wanted to attract gaming guilds over from TeamSpeak, Ventrilo and Mumble, which people actually self-hosted on servers, so they carried over the terminology.

@clacke @mray For a long time, I actually thought you could self-host the thing, because what else would a server be.
