 +**LIKE DISCORD:** Each server may have its own theme, depending on who owns the server.  Some servers may be huge like 10k people.  Some may be smaller, with only 10 people.  Different servers are good for different things.  You may want to hang out in different servers or leave them if you don't like the people.
