Cheers

      Multiple-accounts and pseudonyms. It’s like the 101 of interacting on the Internet. With a phone number requirement that’s automatically made impossible.

      Also SIM-cards/phone numbers are required by law to be attached to your real world identity in many countries.

        What about them?

        Also SIM-cards/phone numbers are required by law to be attached to your real world identity in many countries.

        Why is that a problem?

          Why is that a problem?

          Why are you posting as artyom@piefed.social and not <real name>@<home address>?

            …because this is not a private message? And because my home address is not a piefed server. Such a weird question…
