it's awful and I hate it. I generally prefer not to have a shared identity across communities, and there's no way to create a usable discord identity without a phone number.

Same. It makes it much easier for someone to doxx you.

Nobody besides you can see your phone number. How on Earth does it make you doxxable?

I was talking about this part:

I generally prefer not to have a shared identity across communities

That’s fair. I agree it should have an option to use a different identity per server while having your account centralized only on their service.

Yeah, I wasn't very clear about what I meant.
