There's a 2025 in the title

I get that. I mean, that's how I knew to come down here and say that it was misleading. But surely we can agree it's strange to post something a year old on this particular community. especially something like this, that in context of what's been going on with Discord really makes it seem like fresh news. Like, the 2025 part is only needed because the post is misleading to begin with

Now that Discord has begun rolling out the ID verification that they postponed a few months ago, I think it's a pretty important reminder. And as was said, the post title specifically says "(2025)"

Hmmm yeah that's fair. I wasn't seeing it that way
