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

What strikes me more is one pretty big e-mail provider here (something like Czech Google) wants phone number now.

They have lots of account functions like videos, comment sections ... I use only mail with clients (Thunderbird and k-9). They say it is for 2fa.
