Just had to give my phone number and solve multiple captchas to join a Discord channel.
I generally try to avoid giving my phone number to online services, but it gets more and more difficult.
Years ago when I created my Reddit account, I didn't even have to give an email address.
Only open source freedom tech like Nostr, XMPP and ActivityPub are still like that nowadays.
