I would argue still a better choice than discord. You can still self-host it and constrict the metadata that reach the main server.
frick off, israelite. what's next? we should use tiktok too? because both services are sharing data with their intelligence services of their respective countries.
85 IQ
Samegayging this hard. Also no, Matrix is not an Israel-affiliated (very rare that I ever say that). Its federated nature literally means you can host your own homeserver to interact with others. Don't like the default matrix.org homeserver? Don't use it.
>*still sends your data to matrix.org and vector.im*
no thanks

>No thanks israelite. I'd rather use centralized proprietary spyware that requires my phone number.
xmpp doesn't require a phone number you absolute moron
>Its federated nature literally means you can host your own homeserver
*blocks your instance*
i use matrix as my primary means of communication but i can still admit it's hot garbage when it comes to decentralization
frick off glowie
yea, we know discord is
lighter than discord
decentralized peer to peer in the spec for dendrite
>xmpp
literally requires centralized servers and has broken encryption and file sharing
millions use it, we have some massive rooms
thanks for linking stuff that got patched in an hour, years ago
frick off gubment shills, you are all very obvious
>lighter than discord
hardly, it's bloated webshit both server-side and client-side
>requires centralized servers and has broken encryption and file sharing
it absolutely does not and both of these just werk
yes it does, xmpp is trash there is 1 good client for it (conversations on android) nothing else works properly.
matrix has 0 good clients
>xmpp is trash there is 1 good client for it (conversations on android) nothing else works properly
What about Dino, Gajim, Pidgin, fricking Cisco Webex?
>bloated crapware that leaks metadata like nothing else and encourages the use of a central server
ngmi, switch to xmpp
xml sucks ass
xml is much better than json
both suck for a variety of very incompatible and differing reasons.
to say one is better than the other really misses a lot.
json sucks but it's far better than xml
>ngmi, switch to israeli spyware
frick off, israelite. nobody uses it - nobody should use it.

i don't care if it's spyware since I'm only using it for vidya comms. Maybe stop sending and receiving cp and you won't have to worry about muh spyware
Holy shit this is the modern moron take, they think nobody needs privacy unless they’re doing some illegal/immoral. Absolutely room temp IQ shit
yeah, you don't need it. you just want it because you're high off your own farts and think your shitty conversations are in any way important
Then why are you (assuming you're OP) mad that you have to give your phone number? Nothing to hide right? Privacy don't matter right?
OP here, that's not me, I capitalize my sentences properly. I don't use matrix 'cause I can't convince my friends to switch there.
Why the frick don't you just use email? Do you really need to message your gay little friends instantaneously after they message you some banal thing like what you ate for breakfast? Then just text them, you have phones right? God I hate over-socialized morons like you.
lol u mad?
Yes!
Why are you on IQfy then, this place isn't all that different
You're a fricking moron. What a dumb post you made.
>God I hate over-socialized morons like you.
how fricking autistic are you?
>switch to x
And then what? Talk to myself?
Coerce your frens into also switching
just make a new account moron
It won't let you make a new account without you giving your phone number
Been using discord since it came out and never had to do this. You did something moronic or spammed like a bot and got flagged.
Not op but got my account flagged as a spammer when it was a brand new account
happens to me all the time. i don't use discord (like moronic zoomers like you) so i don't post or anything.
Yeah but now I have to get into contact with all my friends and join all the servers again.
That's what I'm gonna end up doing but it's still a pain.
>use proprietary shitware
>get cucked
like pottery
privacy is dead, use onlinesim ru
>using discord
There's your mistake
if you really need to use discord, contact and tell support you don't have a number
Damn I wish I thought of that first, but I already called them a bunch of antisemitic slurs that I probably can't walk back on now.
>account locked
>start cussing out the CS rep that's paid $7/hour to answer your mails
>why won't they unlock my account
Okay you got me, I was joking. I had a perfectly civil conversation and the customer support guy was actually a fairly cool dude, but I've already made it clear that I just didn't want to give them my phone number so I can't play that card now, though I wish I did.
I had Discord open in my PC browser and phone (mobile data), restarted my phone to check something and then I opened discord on the phone again, only to be met by a "suspicious activity please insert phone number" screen. My bet is that seeing the login on 2 different IPs triggered it, but I've always had them open on both PC and Phone at the same time with no problems so I'm not sure what was different this time. See if you can reproduce it if you're feeling lucky.

Uh huh, sure that's what triggered it. Just frick off already and delete this thread. You clearly did something fricking stupid and now you're pretending to be a victim on IQfy to get pity points. have a nice day.
kek I don't have to prove anything to anyone, one day it might happen to you and I hope you remember this thread.
>You clearly did something fricking stupid
Yeah I was using discord, now I learned my lesson.
>what is this principle that you're doubling down on
I'm just crying out against the normalization of giving companies your phone number, especially when they don't need them. I mean at least if they ask for it upfront at the beginning like Signal does, I wouldn't have anything to complain about, but I find it scummy to hold all your contacts information hostage until you agree to give them your number.
Everyone already has your phone number man. People download apps that lift contact list wholesale and upload it to their servers. Your phone number isnt private in this day and age
>I'm moronic, therefore everyone else is moronic as well
This happened to me but using the official client and a not official one with my user token cookie. Discord is a trash of a company. You should unironically switch to any matrix protocol software.
Try deleting all your cookies, using a different web browser (maybe firedragon?) and changing your IP and then making a new account. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't.
Tip: get the frick off of Discord and embrace the fediverse or go full XMPP.
This even happened to me on Twitter, my account being locked without me even twitting anything at all. These companies are bullshit.
If that browser thing doesn't work buy a new SIM card and pray it's one of the ones that are not range blocked/not allowed for registration (read the ToS and it'll tell you which ones are) but only if you didn't do anything iffy on the platform. If you did you're dumb and got into this yourself.
>PC and phone
You are already an open book that they know everything about, why are you suddenly against confirming the details they already have?
7.25 is the minimum in the states. No job here would see the light of day with a paycheck that low
whats 7.25 rounded to the nearest dollar, u dumb frick
I'm starting to understand why they flagged and locked your account
Then how is anyone able to use discord and pass the phone requirement without a phone number?
just get a sim card moron
Yeah it's not hard. Just get a temp 30 day SIM card and give them that number. Just make sure it's not used as an account recovery mechanism.
It's always used as an account recovery mechanism, pretty sure you can't disable that
Tell them you're a transitioning third-worlder who doesnt have a cell phone because the bottom surgery cost you all your money
Just use juicysms or something. Pay with crypto. You probably want to set up TOTP 2fa with Aegis or something if you're going that route, though.
>How is this allowed?
The government let corporations do whatever they wanted as long as the economy kept growing, now we're paying the price of letting literal evil human beings amass too much power and wealth.
For fricks sake, they're all fricking pedophiles who are literally telling you how to live from their 500k leather couch on their 5 million mansion with private guards, how the hell will they ever know how the frick the plebs live?
>beg to get cucked
>finally get cucked
>complain
do normalgays really?
just use google voice
>How is a service I don't own, or pay for, allowed to do something I don't like?
>or pay for
People do pay for Discord though
is it like a freemium kind of thing?
you can pay for a monthly suscription that gives you more upload size limit and profile customization stuff, lets you boost guilds to have custom perks, lets you use animated emotes and emotes from other guilds and stream your screen at 60fps and full quality
do you not have a phone
what is this principle that you're doubling down on. are your phone digits a private part of yours that you only let your waifu see, or are they a tool to get things done? are you getting things done?
I've never had this problem but it makes me paranoid.
If it happened to me I would be sad that I wouldn't able to delete my old discord, and would have to buy or reg a new account if the old one won't take a burner.
>but we must prevent muh bot spam aboose
>servers cost money!
Require a small monero fee to sign up. Now you make it harder for bots to join and easier for you to host.
>but muh regoolations mean we need to prove real identity
Host your service on darknet lol.
I got permabanned out of the blue one day. They didn't give a reason. I didn't even do anything bad. I asked for clarification and they basically told me to frick off. Not that it matters, I barely use discord so I just made another account.
no, you did not get banned out of the blue.
Not him but its happened to me before. Got banned for a week for hate speech but I looked through all my logs and there wasn't anything remotely like that. So either they banned out of the blue or they have an extremely wide range of what they consider to be bannable
you can be banned for basically anything like even for being in a server where jannies forgot to delete a message of someone saying Black person or whatever
Yes, I did. The only suspicious thing I did was join a bunch of cypto channels. I didn't even post, just lurked.
>bunch of cypto channels
That's probably why. If they decide they don't like a channel they ban it and everyone in it. They go full moron scorched earth. It's fricking stupid.
Yeah probably. They were pretty rude when I asked to know the actual reason for the ban (they only said something like ToS violation when they banned me). c**ts.
>zoomer finds out that using corporateware isnt that cool after all
I get banned on IQfy when I tether off my phone. I mean, its one thing to ban phone posters, but if I am accessing the desktop version on a desktop computer running desktop linux, its a bit moronic to block me just because my IP is associated with a mobile carrier.
Further more, since my IP is dynamic, I am often banned for posts on boards I never even visit.
So you are wrong. people constantly are being flagged in error
Discord support is fricking dogshit. The only reason I use the garbage is because A) my friends use it and we don't have an alternative to easily set up our shit on and B) for whatever reason a lot of vidya and mods have support only in their discord servers. Pretty soon I'm going to just give up and switch to a self hosted Revolt server most likely
just use a free online sms inbox
not like it matters
These threads should be perma ban on IQfy. Waste of everyones time and the only reason people make them is because the schizos on this board believe OP was innocent and it's all a big government conspiracy to hurt OP. lmao
meanwhile I have to argue with the cashier at 711 constantly about getting the sales advertised on the shelves but they insist I have to give them my phone number to get the sale price, even though thats not what it says on the fricking shelf.
every fricking day I go to buy the same meal and every fricking day "do you have a rewards with us? no? would you like to sign up, its super easy"
called up a store asking about inventory and locations. they said they can email me the address of the nearest store with the product. I ask if they can just tell me the address and ill write it down. "no you have to give us your email so we can email it to you, I will not just tell you the address"
so, frick you
bruh, just buy one of the sim cards at a store for a quid
Not OP but not a thing in some EU countries. You MUST register with your name, address, and driver's license if you want a SIM card.
>weekend
>hop on a train to Paris
>stock up on sim cards for years
>also some sightseeing if relevant
>hop back on a train
Dude, you are saying as if travel across EU borders is not possible.
OP joined a porn discord and got his account flagged because he’s a moron. Now he’s pretending to have done nothing wrong.
Getting smug about his innocence is always a colossal red flag, same for "kek"
Yeah it's so fricking hilarious how zoomers out themselves when they talk on here.
I'm not sure I follow, why does joining a porn discord flag your account to ask for phone number?
my account literally got disabled for no reason today. no email or anything. 5 year old account gone with no explanation, welcome to the future
>not abusing the API to continuously archive your conversations
kek
>use spyware
>wtf why does it want more data?
idiot
suggestions for non-proprietary non-autistic chat software?

t. apple user
imagine defending discord
All the temp sms services are dog shit, the only good ones are the ruskie ones but now they are all sketchy payment methods
I got the same thing too and decided to just drop it at this point. The worst part about it is that it feels like I am shut out of all communication with pretty much anyone online.
>forums
>support for programs
>pretty much anyone who wants to talk
Everything is behind the discord wall and i fricking hate it. I cannot be the only one who feels this way.
IKTF
5sim.net
Now shut the frick up
No proper payment method
isn't it just asking for crypto?
I don't really keep crypto saved, and doesn't it ask for a huge minimum treshold?
Using Firefox on Linux can trigger that suspicious activity thing from Discord. Using Chrome on Linux doesn't. No clue how it is with Epiphany because it essentially looks behaves and virtually is just Safari.
chrome specifically or ungoogled works too?
i've used librewolf on linux in my unverified account and nothing happened lol, that's just completely random and just have to pray you don't get it. mainly try to avoid doing shit that would make you sus like joining a ton of servers in a day etc
Many such cases. They know that if they demand your phone from the get-go, you'll just leave. But if they let you create an account, and then take it hostage, they know that you'll be forced to give phone. It's a simple criminal scheme, made by gangster devs, which are very frequent those days.
You know that they actually don't care about you because they specifically demand cellphone number, not TOTP or other 2FA methods. All their claims about "we do it for your security" are plain lies.
>troonycord
>Guilded exists
Absolute state of IQfy
Rent free
>Guilded
How good is this platform for cooming and for streaming video in group calls?
You can even schedule coom sessions via the calendar.
They have that feature too in Discord now. But knowing them, they probably "stole" it from Guilded. Thanks sticky anon.
it is over then
copy the discord cache then look through it to find the discord id's of your friends and foes and then just readd them once again
Buy a burner phone no in a shithole country, use it, save all your data from DC and flee asap.
>all those trooncord shills on damage control
The absolute state of "tech" board.
Request your data under GDPR. They'll tell you to log in to make that request in app. Tell them you can't log in because of phone verification. Make a GDPR complaint and include it in support ticket. Your phone verification requirement will be lifted in under 24hr.
Does this work if u are not eurochad tho
They can't check. It applies to all data passing through Europe AND to all data of EU citizens AND they can't require citizenship verification.
EU tech laws are global laws, god bless'em.
>Make a GDPR complaint
how?
You can only make a GDPR complaint if they can identify you. You can't just go and claim that you are the owner of random accounts. I'm sure they will be glad to look into your case if you provide a photo of your driver's license or passport and your phone number :^) Once they identified you, they will be glad to comply with your GDPR deletion request, but keep in mind that they will store the data on you to prevent abuse :^)
The exact same thing happened to my "normie" twitter account and a youtube account. Neither were posting anything bad. For twitter, all I did was log in on my desktop (which I have logged into before), for youtube it was just a while between logins (couple years). They fricking say it's to confirm I am the account owner, but that's complete bullshit since if anyone got as far as I did (password and email verification code) they could have given a number at that point to take over the account.
I hate the modern web so much.
>using discord

just spend 1$ and get your acc back

Yeah but some of those don't present as a mobile MMS service and won't work. Worst is Kakaotalk, which has you text them, not the other way around.
Unironically just go outside and talk to people there. We arent winning this battle and you shouldnt want to

Pay $2 for a Mint Mobile SIM. Use that as your phone number. Register whatever ever else you want in the seven days it is active. That's it.
Or don't use Discord?
>Or don't use Discord?
i would but it's almost like no one uses matrix/irc. does anyone use guilded?
You agreed to their tos.
Not my problem.
OP here, status update.
I ended up giving my phone number, I received a code and it didn't work. I repeated the process but this time I didn't receive any code. I tried this for a couple more times, and still nothing. After some questioning apparently my phone is now on a timeout and I can't use it to get another code for 14 days. Apparently I'm not the only one with this problem:
https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360044114052-Remove-Verify-phone-timeout?page=2#comments
Customer support says they're not allowed to remove the timeout, for user safety, even if it's the same phone number for the same account.
Feel free to laugh at me, I'm a moron for even bothering.
i hope you have alt contact info for friends you made there. i lost alot of people into the void dealing with discord's bullshit.
