would it be simpler for people if we said "server" instead of "instance"? (programming.dev)

or maybe some other terminology would be better? lots of people get confused when you ask them to choose an instance, sometimes I think even the word "proxy", "host", or "hub" is simpler

the specific terms aren't my point, just a discussion to see if we can come up with a better name

High Availability stans are angry about your question.

Basically... both options are ambiguous. Would be best if they used a more unique name. Like a burrow (many lemmings build burrows).
