There are free channels and Patreon only ;)
Discord wants a phone number to set up an account and I don't want to provide one, nor do I want to get a burner just to set one up. I miss the days when we could indulge in vices with anonymity instead of having to expose ourselves to the scrutiny of people that just want to take down as much info as they can on us and sell it. Bastards.

Wise man, social media rots your brain.
I'm still amazed how I managed to mostly avoid social media It was starting to take off when I was in school. At least Myspace / Facebook not sure about the rest I never paid attention to any of that shit. Only ever made a facebook cause a friend made me but never used it.

That's up to the server owner.

If I remember right, I don't require it at the moment.
If the channel grows and spam gets more, I will have to.

Followers are great, but if you attract more spammers than followers, you need to act.

I honestly forgot you can follow for free as patron as I only spend like 30 seconds / 1min on patron most of the time just seeing if there was activity from a dev. It took me a few minutes to find the button but I did it :)

I am on most of them, but I rarely use them anymore, except Facebook. I only use Facebook to keep in touch with family. Otherwise I wouldn't bother with it.
