I really dislike Discord and it seems to be getting worse with time. At some point I think they began to use the same broken database that LiveNation/TicketMaster and some other hair brained systems utilize which seems to consider my phone # not valid (it's VoIP/Google Voice/[previously "Grand Central"] and I have been using it mostly without issues for well over a decade) for "verification" purposes which, sometimes it also doesn't seem to care about.

Ironically I applied to work at Discord years ago, I didn't even get screened; maybe just a polite/automated rejection email? I'd have to check my archives.

I got to know Kathy Wang personally at REcon.cx long ago and she was pretty awesome! I guess she was (but is no longer as of earlier this year?) Discord's CSO? I reached out to her at one point but didn't get a reply either, which is who knows what; maybe my missive never made it to her field of vision? Hopefully some day she and I will be able to spill the tea in person again since we last crossed paths; though I also hope that she is onto better and brighter endeavors now!

Meshtastic seems interesting though. I don't have any hardware which supports it presently, but from what I have seen of it, it appears promising.
