Discord requiring you to add a phone number **after** the creation of your account
  • There was a server I poked around in once that required members to provide phone number just to join. Seems very unethical considering all the bad things that can happen from identity theft or stalking.... it's not like mods are employees for Discord. They're just random mofos. Why would I trust a stranger on the Internet of all places?

  • What was your earliest experiences with the Internet like?
  • Most pages weren't heavy js bloat. Lots more adware, at least in an obvious way. Google search wasn't faster than other search engines. Websites (even for well known companies) would actually have downtime for maintenance and there wasn't such a focus on having six 9s worth of availability. Could also probably hack a lot of what was out there back in the day. I kind of miss it but I really don't. Nostalgia factor is only just that... very fleeting. Only thing I miss the most is used to being able to watch porn on my 3DS. The sites I used were still not using the weird players they use now and so mostly everything I could play. It would take a hot min to load but would come through eventually. Oh well.
