> a fake anon account

Good luck with that. I was immediately prompted for my phone number upon registering. And I know there's ways to source an anonymous phone number, I just couldn't be bothered. They shouldn't ask for it in the first place.



Most websites do that now. And until now, I've been using an account.

Only when I initiate a DM with someone does it get locked & simply asks to complete an arkose challenge. Nothing else until now.
