My account is ancient so good luck I guess

I don't care if mine gets proscribed, I will quit using it before I verify my identity, even if I could trust them not to let others have my identity. I am currently removing all internet companies that forced me to use my phone to verify my account despite me not wanting that ever.

Except for like my bank, but even then, I want email to work, I don't want to be locked out of everything if I lose my phone, it's charge, or it's service. And it's not like it's secure either.

I will switch to the fediverse and wait for people to come to us before I hand them my personal information they use for commercial purposes and give to the government and business interests without my say so.
