You might want to re-read both the comment of my parent, and my comment again.

Parent complains that Discord 'servers' are misnamed because they are not literally individual servers. I asked them if they have a similar gripe with IRC, because IRC 'channels' are named that after radio/tv channels, but they are not literally radio channels.

Ah alright, thanks for the clarification. I also believe the term server is misleading, maybe the word group would be better suited?
