Fuck 😡

Walls are closing in.

Phone # is the new SSN

There is a huge black market for mobile phone numbers.

don't need it. won't use it

Discord is easily the worst network currently offered. I can’t even believe people use it.

We Need a discordstr

0xchat is similar in some ways

flotilla.social

Voice chat on the roadmap?

Definitely planned at some point

Soon ID-Check too

I have never liked that app.

Should be called Cord now.

time to cut the cord

Lol

oof

now? Did this change recently?

I don't know, the last time I tried to create an account was 9 years ago.

flotilla.social comes close (sans all the gamer-focused features)

TeamSpeak > Discord

Take a look at revolt.chat 👍

Take a look at nostr:npub1f4uyypghstsd8l4sxng4ptwzk6awfm3mf9ux0yallfrgkm6mj6es50r407

Mumble > Teamspeak

Ventrilo > mumble > TeamSpeak

I miss my childhood vent homies 🥲

BlueSky went for ID, credit card, or face scan. 💀

Don’t worry, their audience is totally on board with that. Because it keeps out Nazis or something.

Insane 😬

Not that new, I ran into that last year.

They have required a phone number for a long time. Especially if using a VPN/tor/whatever IP masking

If you haven't already, and want that screenshare time on discord, checkout nostr:nprofile1qydjqamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwdeek2cmzw4hxketj9e3k7mgpr9mhxue69uhks6tkv46xzmrt9ehx7um5wgcjucm0d5qzqyllss2z5efxy3gjfsvqldf59n4pxr243lk86jyqr8ga4ea2egv2re7nre vanilla or honey!

print yourself some firearms

All centralised fiat websites are going downhill...

I've never seen a mago's note

Yeah they've done this since a couple of years back at least. I tried to join a discord of a FOSS projects back then. They immediately banned my account until I could add a phone number. 🤡

I've had the same situation and when I do actually provide an actual phone number they say it's invalid.

This is why #nostr feels like a desperate breath of fresh air

Yes... Cringe. But at least US numbers from https://lnvpn.net/phone-numbers work. For 1,500 sats.

Never liked discord

"NOSTR AND PERSONAL INFORMATION"

"One of the differences between nostr and other apps such as tiktok is that personal information such as phone numbers and email address are not asked by nostr whilst apps such as tiktok, twitter and Facebook demand this. Apps such as session don't ask for personal information which is a consequence and phone calls can be done without a phone number being given. This is a result of WhatsApp letting users call other users without sim card charges."

I refused to sign up with my email, definitely not giving them my phone number.

Discord employees review and disclose “private” chats for entertainment. They disclose chats along with user and device metadata for ideological purposes. It’s for the best that they set expectations by requiring phone numbers.
