Yeah no I think I would just butcher the language trying to speak it.
That could also work, if their system allows more digits than the standard digit length of their own phone numbers.
I've bumped into this issue myself when trying to fill my second phone number into input fields which require me to pass a number I actually use at the moment into systems where I do want to give them my phone number...
IIRC lemmy.ml is the showcase server for lemmy software as a whole, so the organizations and individual donors who fund lemmy development also fund lemmy.ml
They mention the bigger donors here
Might be pulling this out of my ass, but I recall that one of the platinum donors gets their money to fund open-source software from EU.
I also use lemmy (voyager app is awesome) but kbin also has an awesome app called Artemis, which got inspired by apollo for reddit.
Appreciate the thorough explanations, thanks!
The last part is fucked up, yikes...
