It might be a nod towards the terminology that Erlang/OTP uses, i.e. "gen_server". Discord is built on Elixir IIRC. http://erlang.org/documentation/doc-4.9.1/d

And I think I read that each ‘server’ gen_server lives on one actual server.

  No, you can run thousands of gen_servers in one VM instance. This is like calling unix processes that listen on ports "servers", which is pretty common.
