Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Is there another way to verify oneself on Larian Discord?

For some reason, the Larian Discord wants me to give my phone number to the Discord company, otherwise i won't be allowed to post on the Larian Discord.
This is a problem, because i have no phone number to give (and to be honest, even if i had one, i would never give it to Discord anyway).

Is there some other way how i can "verify myself"?
Or does Larian have some strange agreement with Discord about collecting user's phone numbers for them?
I don't get it, because I never encountered this problem with any of the other servers i joined in the past, until now.

Requirements to provide a phone number to post on Discord servers have become increasingly common in some communities for security and spam prevention reasons.

Locking old thread to prevent confusion, as question is from many months ago.
