I’m similarly annoyed by Discord’s term “server”.

Only recently started using Discord, and joined various “servers”, which seem as basically just groups with chats. When I was prompted to create my own “server”, at first was hesitant thinking “whoa, I don’t want them to provision a whole server for me, that can’t be cheap”, then realized it has nothing to do with actual servers.

Even as a slack user I’m confused. Slack emoji should still be usable in low resolutions and preferably have transparent background. None of the examples seem like emoji.

Thank you. As a non-Slack user, this explains a lot. I was somewhat disappointed that this didn't generate actual emojis.
