  @manlycoffee Why do they call it a server when it's not a server but rather an allotted area on a server? @fediversenews

    @thanius@mastodon.chuggybumba.com @manlycoffee@techhub.social @fediversenews@venera.social It stems from when Discord was still trying to attract the TeamSpeak audience, which worked through individually-hosted servers.
    
    Internally, Discord refers to servers as "guilds", but went with "server" publicly because that was easier for the average user to comprehend. The term stuck, so they've never bothered to change it. Even if they did, there'd likely be resistance from people who don't want to adapt their terminology, so they'll likely continue to refer to guilds as servers indefinitely.

    @thanius @fediversenews same reason why a lot of devs call a simple program listening on a TCP port a "server".
