Use forums rather than Slack/Discord to support developer community
Oh please do.  This seems like the perfect time to bring this up:<p>I had a piece of software that used Discord for support.  They required that users be verified, which requires you to give you phone number to Discord.  I gave them my Google Voice number, which is the only number I have, and they rejected it because they don't support VOIP numbers.  I asked them if there was any other way to verify my identity.<p>They told me, "Just use a friend's phone to verify.  As long as they don't try to verify on Discord in six months it should be fine, we won't check again".<p>Their official answer to identity verification was to impersonate someone else!
