> A big difference between Discord and almost everything else is that server admins aren't real admins

That’s because discord “servers” aren’t real servers and it’s all a whole big closed-source SaaS.

“Server” is a clearly an intentionally misleading term and dark UX used to lure people into thinking they are have actual ownership and control of their fealty SaaS workspaces.

Sadly, given the success of Discord, it seems this lie has paid off big-time though.
