A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Thank you for this very enlightening explanation!
While it doesn't make any sense at all that "a Discord server" (an online community hosted by the Discord company) is used to mean a totally different thing from "a Discord server" (a server which runs the Discord software), your explanation makes all the other comments here suddenly make sense.
I had to check that I hadn't dreamed this up on my own, but looking around now there are claims to having Discord servers all around, these were just the first handfull I now found:
"FreeBSD has a Discord server to socialize, get support, support others, learn, contribute, collaborate, and stay up to date on all things FreeBSD and Open Source."
https://wiki.freebsd.org/Discord/DiscordServer
"If you have questions that are not covered by the documentation, you can get in contact with us on our Discord server or create a post in the discourse forum."
https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea
"We're transitioning to our own discord server!"
https://github.com/OpenNeptune3D/OpenNept4une/discussions/111
"We’re opening our own Discord server as a replacement for our Gitter."
https://www.crowdsec.net/blog/crowdsec-on-discord
"I'm excited to announce the launch of our Discord server, VigneshDevHub, designed to build a thriving open-source community where developers of all levels can collaborate, learn, and work on amazing projects together!"

"Our Discord server got a makeover."

That you're now telling me that none of them actually have their own Discord server is just bizarre. I can't be the only one who took those words at face value, simply assuming that they in fact had their own Discord servers.
