I am using the http://sbc.io/hosts/alternates/fakenews-gambling-porn/hosts file, with an auto update script that autofetches the file for me, today i was login in discord and recived the confirmation e-mail, however i was unable to login, because the email link is to click.discord.com, i disabled the host file and logged in, but I wanted to make sure that click.discord.com was there intentionally. I chose the one with no social media blocking because of reddit and discord. the regular discord domain remais unaffected.

Hello! Thank you for opening your first issue in this repo. It’s people like you who make these host files better!

I am sorry, but this is by design. click.discord.com is primarily used for tracking, and the list you are using is designed to block tracking. As such, StevenBlack does not intend to allowlist it. Please either allowlist it on your devices, or request Discord stop using this domain to tracking links in their emails. Thank you

Thank you for this @Thiago-Assis-T, and thank you for the assist @iam-py-test.

As stated above, this isn't going to change.

Closing.

I see, thanks and sorry for not searching the issues and prs... at the time it didn't seem like intentional, but now explained it does make sense!
