Just had to give my phone number and solve multiple captchas to join a Discord channel.

I generally try to avoid giving my phone number to online services, but it gets more and more difficult.

Years ago when I created my Reddit account, I didn't even have to give an email address.

Only open source freedom tech like Nostr, XMPP and ActivityPub are still like that nowadays.

Very true. Fuck KYC, fuck any sort of digital ID, unless it's completely ZK-based and even then I want to fucking get paid for getting my ID somewhere. Fuck this digital concentration camp and I sincerely hope the elitist motherfuckers and all these surveillance crapitalists end up dead.
