Excuse my ignorance, but you can set up your own Discord server? I thought it‘s a SaaS kind of offering.

Your own as in manage yes, as in host no.

Related, one can host separate search index/public frontend for a Discord server with Answer Overflow https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36383773

"server" in Discord terms just means a community space with channels. You don't actually run any sort of "server" software, it's all managed by Discord.

Just use their internal terminology and call them guilds. “servers” are a stupid marketing label for a thing they aren’t.

They thought that the word "server" was not overloaded enough.
