Yeah, I have a phone number, and I don't pick it up if I don't recognize it. I don't know you, I probably don't want random communication from you.

I am pleased with the state of spam detection for things that implement it. Google does a good job, both on my phone (Pixel) and my email. Quora does not, and I resent it; it makes the site worse, so I turned it off.

If Facebook were letting strangers talk to me, I'd probably stop using it.
