Oh I'm really sorry to hear about the phone thing : ( You can try searching online if you can bypass the cellphone number thing? I've seen some articles about it and currently I can remove my phone number from my discord so maybe you can look more into it. Also, I'm not sure how it works where you live, and I understand you don't have a phone number subscription, but do you have a phone number? Where I live, you can get a phone number by buying a $1 prepaid SIM card (but if it's way pricier where you live then I suggest just not buying : ( discord not worth all your money tbh). I think they need your phone number for the 2-factor authentication to prevent hacking accounts, since it's so rampant these days.- snip -
If it's any consolation, the TBT discord and collectibles discord aren't any busier than TBT itself, so I don't think you're missing out a whole lot on that aspect. The main difference between the two groups is that the TBT discord is moderated by TBT staff and has more people, whereas the collectibles discord is moderated by volunteer members of the TBT community and has relatively fewer (but still a bunch!) of people :] But the convo traffic is the same all throughout, whether on those discord groups or here (and honestly, I'm on the TBT discord only during fair, haha).
Hope this helps!
