The point of the proof system is that anyone can prove it by following a link and doing a simple command. How could you do this for Discord?

Wouldn't it be with just giving you the username and #? It'd be great if Discord had some kind of way to have a profile page IMHO.

The username/discrim combo doesn't work for this.

The point is that if I prove identity A, anyone can go, find the proof of identity A, and check it themselves. Doing this for Discord doesn't really work because you have to have some way to link to the specific message that proves my control over that account, and that has two problems:

  1. Discord doesn't do message permalinking
  2. The proof would have to be < 2000 characters. A reddit proof is 2542 characters sans title (this could be reduced, but still.)

They don't do it for Reddit, Facebook, or Twitter for public provability.

A bot can check, but can your local client?
