You can join discord just to use Midjourney. It’s really mot that big of a deal.

Tried to sign up, but won't bother after they falsely claimed a "security issue with my browser" and then demanded a phone number on that basis.

I hate this hostile, intrusive UX pattern. I verified my email, I never use VPN, and my browser's ad blockers were disabled. Yet they claim "security issue". Discord can shove their dishonesty.

And yes I tried one of those free number websites but didn't work because millions of other people use those same numbers.

Every month or two, I have a need to login to Discord for something like MJ. Discord's whole login sequence is more painful than any other website ever created. It has multiple borderline-crazy CAPTCHA challenges and still makes you verify by email and/or phone. This is on the same browser and device I logged into a month or two ago.

I don't get anything like this from other services on the same device.
