@DRIVEWAY7EXILE3GLORY @Em0nM4stodon Otherwise many of us will have to move to protocols that work without it.

Such a transition would ideally be to peer to peer systems with mesh network capabiity, as setting up local Matrix servers when Internet access is even partially ID-gated might be an issue.

Note that home landline access doesn't have a phone number and isn't likely to be affected, but this is tied to and gives away your actual address. Should only be used over Tor. Running a non-Torified Matrix server over one in this kind of environment mght get spicy to say the least
