I remember when everybody in the 90s had their own website. They could post anything they wanted on it. No regulated social hubs. You could find people through a wide variety of search engines, not just Google. The current social media system is like a prison and everyone gets their own prison cell, which all look the same and offer little to no freedom.
Personally if it were me after all the MEDIA and SOCIAL platforms have done, I would charge an admission for TRUTH to control TROLLS. So a phone number to me is a minimal request. Payment Membership would clean up the INTERNET.
The thing that spurred Twitter to such heights was the fact that anyone could view it and post it to other sites, whether you signed up or not. I don't understand why the newer platforms haven't grasped that concept because, IMO, this is the single most important thing that holds them back from really taking off.
May be, but they surely do limit their viewership and the ability to get themselves spread all over numerous platforms. I won't join anything on line that requires my phone number and I know a lot of others who feel the same.
If his site is being crippled by attacks, would he not be better off getting the word out to a few rather than none? If only a few, the news would spread like wildfire via sites like this one.

It always has...
I've been a member of Frankspeech since it launched, and the phone # was needed to start an account...
Maybe it is to PREVENT trolls

Telephone number ties a username to a real name which means you are no longer anonymous... wake up pedes

I look with great skepticism at any service that demands doxxable information.
I default to 2/3 "Probably not" vs 1/3 "Maybe," and give any site an opportunity to provide enough benefits to convince me otherwise.
I don't see anything compelling at Frankspeech yet, but it's still young.
fuck that
Create your own Fediverse server with an old computer or raspberry pi.
Put it behind a vpn.
Start posting.
Fediverse is not twatter/faceberg
https://fedi.guide/
I think it is just for a one time authorization code.
I show that https://frankspeech.com/ redirects to https://home.frankspeech.com/
How are they different?
I type in frankspeech.com, it takes me home.frankspeech.com.
Could be that since I accessed home.frankspeech.com just prior to accessing frankspeech.com, that the first was cached and so it went to there.
I would have to clear cache (Cntrl - Shift- Delete), close browsers, reopen and try again, but I'll just trust your result.
Thanks for tip!
??? Always did.
(which is why I never signed up... for anything that wants my phone number that doesn't have a compelling reason to ask for it.)
It's been there since the pre-launch sign-ups.
I'll be waiting until that requirement is removed.
Lindell said he was about to release something new.
Perhaps this is a requirement to limit attacks on their website so they don't get crippled when they're trying to release new info. Just a guess.
If his site is being crippled by attacks, would he not be better off getting the word out to a few rather than none? If only a few, the news would spread like wildfire via sites like this one.
