As the tittle sais, i was trying to create an instagram account and it is not possible without a phone number. Same with discord. Obviously i dont want to provide mine. Any working solutions to bypass this? not looking for alternative private service, i already use them.
No they don’t. Lol. I’ve been using my discord for years without a number.
I didn’t say they always do it. I said they can, and they do sometimes. Happened to a close friend of mine after she logged in via Ripcord, though it may be unrelated.
Has more to do with using a third-party client then, which they don’t like
We can only speculate. Many have used those without issues for years.
And many didn’t, including myself. Never did anything that violates their terms before, but one day after I started trying out alternative clients, access to my account got terminated.
That was two years ago though, I’ve heard they’re a bit less strict now.
Third party client. That’s why. It’s to combat spam and bots.
