Phone Number Verification
Why would we need a phone to go on discord for literally no reason? It’s so much other work and I don’t even have a phone and many other people don’t have phones either? So what’s the point?

I agree. The company is forcing its users to provide their phone numbers for no apparent good reason. Do they sell data? I'm sure about 1 thing: This policy undermines one of the strongest aspects of Discord: Anonymity (aka privacy). As a new user, I was passionate about this platform and I had only good things to say about its features, but now I'm seriously considering deleting my account. We don't need another "Facebook"!

It is to prevent your account from being hacked
but I do have one suggestion, they should remove it from partnership requirements

flame The only way to know that for sure is if you're working for Discord.
Julio. I know their official excuse.
I also know there are people who haven't done anything wrong, but they lost access to their accounts because they refused to provide their telephone number.3 -
and it is not mandatory
It's not mandatory until it is -- Discord is performing bait-and-switch tactics against their users who sign up under the pretense of "phone-optional". Here's the typical form letter response from Discord support:
I just checked with my team, and upon review of your account, it appears that our detection system has triggered successfully and we will not be removing the phone verification requirement on your account. You'll be required to register a phone number to your Discord account in order to continue the use of it.
It's possible that our system detected that you were using a VPN or proxy that was shared with other bad actors, which is why our system flagged your account. However, for privacy reasons, we're not able to share the specifics of the inner workings of our system.
Discord annuls themselves from any responsibility of their dumb "system" working correctly, instead naively assuming all users are bad actors and leaving them zero recourse to prove otherwise. A phone number is mandatory to recover one's account.
