Speaking as an abstainer from all things Meta, that's depressing.

Burner?
They'll still want your phone number and carrying a second phone just for those moments is a bit of a hassle.
I'd be interested in a dual sim phone that had an instant "private mode" user account switch to the second sim. But even that would be a pita and it would severely limit the choice of hardware as well.
Why do you need to have the phone, beyond the initial registration?

If you just register an account and use it forever, how is that different from "having an active Facebook account"?
Initial registration would happen every time you want to do anything. (And you'd need a new phone... every time...)
You've nailed it. RIP WordPress and websites. <sarcasm>Delete that Safari icon, it's annoying.</sarcasm>
Fewer people are opening web pages on their phones. I was wondering why someone would pay so much for a website, and then realized accessing twitter through a web browser on a laptop is not the way. We won't talk about relinquishment of rights, privacy and freedom. I am a curmudgeon doing it all wrong. The way into the walled garden is through the ease of use of popular Apps on the most popular platform: the phone.
I use Google Maps for this and it still works very well...?
And work in anything international and this is essentially it. Want to find a smoothie shop in a beach town in Mexico? Instagram/FB + WhatsApp...thats it.
