Seems like discord is asking people to verify their accounts with phone numbers nowadays. I guess I won’t be using it anymore? :🤷

    From what I understand, new signups aren’t allowed without a phone number now. As far as what makes them claim that and ask, as with other proprietary services, who knows? It could be a legitimate security reason, or it could be that they just made up some nonsense because they want to collect more data. Exactly like Facebook, yeah. I stopped using Facebook when they insisted I had to send them my driver’s license to sign in.

    There’s no way to bypass phone verificiation, but many people use various services to get a temporary fake number and verify with that.

      I suppose I can try that option, but I guess these kind of services should be blocked by them as well.
