      That is a server specific setting. I have never had to give a phone number unless the server required that level of authorization.

        No, its site wide. I got banned before I joined a community.

          It is not. I just checked and my account doesn’t have a phone number associated.

              Sounds reasonable. If you look sketchy, like a bot, they’ll want some other way to prevent abuse.

                Its not sketchy to use privacy tools. Domestic abuse survivors, refugees, etc. need theseprotections

                If you do something sketchy, then action can be taken. We have laws that prevent profiling people based on how they look for a reason
