Speaking as someone who has been running discord servers since 2015 - plus I maintain my own discord bot and am deeply familiar with the API - it's absolute garbage as an issue tracker. People really need to stop using it for that.

I think part of the problem is that they confuse the semantics of nomenclature. "Servers" are not really servers, "forums" are not really forums, and so on and so forth.

Yeah, I think they choose "servers" at the beginning because they were targeting the gamer VOIP crowd as a sort of teamspeak competitor and so they were trying to draw an analogy between a discord group and your MMO guild's Teamspeak/Vent/Mumble server, but the terminology has stuck long after it made sense.
