Recently I started to sign up for Bluesky - mostly to read, not post. But sign up required a phone number. That was a dealbreaker for me.
Then someone else said it was a good way to recover locked accounts. They didn't like that Mastodon does not ask for a phone number.
So, what do you think? Is requiring a phone number for new accounts a good thing?
This question is only about social media, not bank accounts, etc.
