Is this normal-ish on Discord or more of an oversight? (lemm.ee)

I've been logged into Discord for a while, but I came on ten minutes to check my notifications. One of the messages was a friend request, which I accepted.

A split second after I pressed Clyde's greeting feature, it logged me out of Discord on its own. I went to log back in and it asked me to re-verify my email address. I found it startling since Discord has known my email address for years.

I got in fine and everything seems to be where it was left after the last time I closed the site, but things like that make me wonder if I'm supposed to ask if something else is up. Did Discord think I spammed (it definitely didn't say so), was it a new development in routine, was it a glitch, etc. Protocol is unstatic on there which is why I ask.

What you clicked wasn’t actually from Clyde, it was a malicious link disguised as the thing from Clyde. And you were never logged out, you just “logged in” to some other website. Would be my guess

By the Clyde greeting thing, I mean the blue rectangle that triggers this.

If there was a malicious encoding, I know it wasn't that, that's built-in.
