It might be easier but I'm not leaking my phone number just to have voice chat with internet friends

[xigoi]

So it's better to leak over other personal information? Use Jitsi or something.

What personal information? All you need is a screen name. I don't think Discord even requires an email to join a server (if guests are enabled).

[xigoi]

It's nonfree software, so you can only assume that it's spying on you.

I don't care if Discord sees my ip/email, but I really, really don't want other users to see them.

[xigoi]

Oh. I thought you were complaining about giving your phone number to Signal.

[doublerabbit]

You do require email and mobile authentication text message on sign up.

[remram]

But you don't have to sign up to chat, you can open Discord in your browser and join a server as guest. Granted, the server might limit what guests can do.

I just went through the sign-up process and no phone number was required though, only email.

Giving out a phone number to make a phone call. The horror :)
