Please tell me where I can download the server binary to run my "Discord Server."

Oh wait, I can't? So it's not really "my" "server"?

I would have a very different take on Discord if I could host a server myself and ensure that what I and my community have built won't be deleted at the whim of the corporation or threat from a lawyer. There's no offline backup where you can just spin everything back up on a different host.

And to those that think an obscure "invite" link will protect you from Nintendo's lawyers, you're living in a different reality than I am. Discord, a registered company with a lot to lose, will throw you under the bus in a heartbeat to lawyers or law enforcement.

The current generation is way too comfortable with technical stuff being abstracted away behind pretty cloud based interfaces and Electron apps.
