Stop using your phone number. It's a drastic solution, but the sooner we stop and find alternatives, the better position we will be in. You don't get spam called on Signal, Facebook Messenger nearly as much, do you?

Of course there are problems with this, but these can be solved. Phone spam can't.

I've stopped creating accounts on services like signal because I'm tired of them doing something stupid, everyone leaving, and then my data ending up owned by Facebook.

If you want to have a voice conversation how do you intend to do that? I haven't found something that effectively replaces my landline yet but I'm all ears (and could hear a lot better if I didn't have to deal with the ringing in the background.)
