"Domain-verifications" is an invitation for everyone else that might need it to use the same standard and convention. "Discord-domain-verification" is not, it's what feels like polluting the global namespace with the company name that might cease to exist in a few years.
At the very least, it should be "domain-verification-discord", "-google" and so on. Maybe even "-com.discord", "-com.google"? And the first part clearly standardized and registered, instead of one entity using "domain" and another one "site".
Why?
Why reinvent the wheel differently 50,000 times instead? I'll usually even prefer a badly designed, but standard, format/encoding over a NIH one from each company - it's just less friction in the end. Heck - include a common format for the value too, then it opens up doors to automating generation with new sites & automatically validating this config for any site following the common format.
