ah yes the privacy-focused service that insists your account be tied to your phone number, is now giving you the option to instead have your account tied to a credit card
the problem with requiring a phone number is i cannot anonymously create an account, and my account can be easily tied back to my real world identity-- making me pay money for it solves exactly 0 of these problems.

@Li@tech.lgbt not sure about where you are, but this one can walk to a store (ignoring that it's 100F outside most of the time) and pay 20 dollars cash for a prepaid sim card if it wanted to also signal would presumably accept cryptocurrencies considering that they have an in-app payment system built around cryptocurrencies
