    huh…sounds like an invasion of privacy.

    good thing I never used discord because of the toxicity and pedophiles.

    nothing gained, nothing lost.

        That is a server specific setting. I have never had to give a phone number unless the server required that level of authorization.

          No, its site wide. I got banned before I joined a community.

            It is not. I just checked and my account doesn’t have a phone number associated.

              You didn’t read what I wrote. They dont ask for a phone number from accounts that they can fingerprint

                Sounds reasonable. If you look sketchy, like a bot, they’ll want some other way to prevent abuse.

                  Its not sketchy to use privacy tools. Domestic abuse survivors, refugees, etc. need theseprotections

                  If you do something sketchy, then action can be taken. We have laws that prevent profiling people based on how they look for a reason

                    Yes, physical appearance, because of racism, sexism, or other discrimination. Not digital appearance.

                    If you walk into a business dressed all in black with sunglasses, a mask, and a hat, that business might refuse to serve you until you look less like you’re going to commit a crime.
