    What do you mean, how could your own server be “hosted by discord”?

      Have you ever used discord? The name server isn’t prescriptive. It’s not your own server. It’s just your own chat rooms

        No, not really.

        Eh, you lost me there, what’s that supposed to mean? How could my own server suddenly become not my own server if I started to use Discord?

  What is called a “Discord Server” isn’t a server as we know it, it is more of a hub of services that all runs on Discord’s systems.

  They are not hosting it themselves. All infrastructure and fully controlled by Discord and they are subject to all Discord rules and decesions.
