Discord has 5 levels of user verification.

None.(none)
Verified email. (Low)
Verified email + more than 5 minutes old account. (Medium)
Verified email + >5 mins old account + member of server for more than 10 mins. (High)
Verified email + >5 mins old account + server member >10 mins + verified phone number. (Highest)

Server admins can set the level. Some server sizes or types (community severs etc.) have a discord-mandated minimum level to qualify for the server type.

Normally (Medium) or (High) security is more than enough. Servers that experience raiding or high levels of trolling are recommended to choose (Very High) security as it makes it harder to make multiple accounts and evade bans or brigade a server.

Discord store the number. The server never sees those details.

Servers that ask for ID to ensure you are over age, are doing that in their own, and probably illegally handling that data, without adequate security.

The server sets the security level. Discord does the enforcing. It IS discord asking for the phone number. But only because the server asked Discord to. But the server definately doesn't see your phone number.

I run a game community server, and normally have security set at medium.

If raided, it goes to High.
If persistently trolled by a user or users that are ban evading (has happened only once), I turn it to highest for a bit.

But I turn it back down after a bit.

A bigger server might not get that luxury.
If a server has stupid high security settings, chances are they have active troublemakers.

I stayed dry and fully clothed while building a sandcastle and watched the locals go swimming in wetsuits. Can't remember where, somewhere on the coast of Claire or Galway.

I was staying in Doolan, so it must have been Bishops quater beach. It was in 2004, so I could be wrong.

Back to the high seas it is.

I'm not paying for 5 streaming services to watch 1 show on each. So now I'm paying for no streaming services.

Convenience as a reasonable price was the deal. It it neither convenient nor reasonably priced any more.

Cable TV all over again. Region locked DVD all over again.

codes a desktop OS specific program coded in C just to spite you

To be honest I absolutely hate everything being a browser app.

Watch them not implement the per-resource password access properly.

Of the many grievous faults of Windows to pick on, file system permissions like this are not one.

As admin you have permission to change ownership and override permissions. And a relic copy of the OS folder is going to have some of the most restrictive permissions possible.

I would expect similar behaviour on any modern OS.

Re-watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer with my kids in new hi-def, and you can clearly and easily see the stunt doubles now, and the SFX look really dated now that you can see them clearly.

It's amazing what old CRTs would let you get away with.

I was subbed, and used it by browser a bit.

But Sync feels like home. And once more I'm enthused about using a platform.

Threads never stood a chance with me. I closed down and deleted my Facebook/insta accounts ages ago. All they have is my ghost profile. Reddit app and site are ass on mobile, which is the main device profile I use for social media.
