It's getting a bit tiring to see that these large corporations still can't figure it out on how to treat your user base regarding de-platforming.

This is barely "hacker" and definitely not "news".
Actually, I would consider it news. I learned something new as I have considered making a second discord account, one personal, one for more professional things since orgs seem to be picking it. I only have one phone number and and now know not to use it for both if they ever ask for it. I also learned that they may ask for your phone number and lock you out for no reason if you refuse to give it them even if you already have an account(I have yet to give them my phone number). This lets me know to be even less trusting of them and to make sure I don't depend on anything from their service.
Hackers build these platforms. It's important for them to see and understand the common failure modes.
