Show currently logged-in account on web invite confirmation page
Please add some indication of the currently logged-in user account to the "accept invite" web page confirming the invite and server details.
I have a work-related discord account with my real name and a personal discord account (for gaming and other recreational use) with a pseudonym. For some reason I left this browser logged into the work account (usually I don't), and I've just joined an absolutely-not-work-related server where I would have preferred not to disclose my full name using the work account. Nothing on the invite/confirmation page indicated that this was about to happen - even though the username of the person who created the invite is prominently displayed.
Now, because of the settings on that server, my real name and employer's acronym have been logged in one of the chat rooms automatically as part of a greeting message and there's no way to remove that even though I've left the server. Because my recreational account includes my initials, it will be trivial for anyone on that server to now identify me by my name and employer - so I basically can't join the server.
Amid the pandemic more and more people are using Discord and similar services for all kinds of different purposes in their education and work as well as play, and it would be very helpful if Discord would make this web dialog clearer so people know which account is logged in and what information they are about to disclose. If this was a shared PC, I could've accidentally logged someone else's personal details in a random server, which would've been even worse.
