How the fuck they decide what is a burner vs a phone owned by people who don't like getting raped by the likes of AT&T is beyond me.
Edit: Per suggestion below, one option is textverified.com. I have verified this works. You can pay with crypto. As little as 75c
Bro i sincerely miss irc
IRC is open source on both the client and the server end, and anyone can run a server. What is missing from IRC is an audience.
I used IRC decades ago, and even back then the "large rooms" had power-tripping gatekeepers that banned people willy-nilly. Some things never change.
Are you a bot, buddy?
a lot of the old IRC networks are still around, and we sure could use some new blood.
