    Requires a phone number to sign up. No thanks.

      Just curious, why is that a deal breaker? It seems like a mild form of anti spam protection, potential 2fa backup, and a way to uniquely identify users.

        It requires personally identifying information to login. That’s a hard pass for menu people.

          What about non-menu people

            They’re just going to order whatever they like anyways.

              Hopefully they won’t have to provide a phone number to the restaurant

          It’s only used as a one time account verification thing, not a 2fa second factor. Still not great but at least not a security flaw.

        What I’ve long been curious about is whether the service provider can derive a subscriber identity using the number. I mean of course the mobile network operator knows I’m me, but does Bluesky? Or is it merely a valid mobile number to them?

          Unless the network operator or the ISP sells/gives your identifying data to Bluesky, that can’t happen. It should be super illegal ofc, but in the US anything can happen…
