It's silly as fuck to require a phone number to join a Discord server.
Is the value of preventing trolls from getting in every once in a while better than privacy? Why would you want Discord to be able to tie your voice and words directly to your registered phone number?
This isn't like a soft requirement either. You can't tie a number to it then remove your number later... it requires it to be tied permanently. You can't use a virtual phone number like google voice.
The community is basically in two parts. The forum which is dead as fuck, and the Discord which is behind a phone number requirement.
I want to join my friends for shit talking on discord - help plz
