I never got the fact that Discord uses the "server" name for what is effectively a hub.

I use Discord every week, when me and my friend are gaming.

Before that we used Steam's built in system, and before that I hosted my own Mumble server.

Discord is decent, it makes it super easy to stream to stream you monitor to others in your hub, that is a brilliant feature.

Steam is fine for one on one chat, a bit more complicated than needed with group chats last time I used it.

Mumble has excellent voice quallity.

    They use the term "server" because it harps back to the days of IRC where communities lived on a single server (or federation of servers). But your right, they should call it communities, and not servers since they're not individually operated servers.
