README.md

@@ -28,9 +28,8 @@
     - option to disable title showing unreads
 - update the list of emojis:
     - switched weird unicode ones to proper emojis
+    - emojis are sourced from discord's list of emojis
     - emojis are now sorted by category (like on every other emoji picker) instead of alphabetically
-    - all emojis go by their unicode names instead of the shortened ones, eg :100: is now :hundred_points:
-        - this wasn't intentional, but keeping the old names would require way more work
     - script to get new emojis is included for future unicode versions
 - add toggle for showing post edit notifications
 - add support for accepted follow request notifications
