There was a previous post on that community about Burggit shutting down, but because it just linked to the announcement without explaining any of the details it didn’t get a lot of attention or generate much discussion, with most of the comments simply consisting of “loli bad”....
While not illegal, basically nothing I would do on Telegram is something I would want associated with my IRL phone number, lol. Of course, Telegram is very much set up to prevent the creation of an account without a phone number, even though they have a desktop client....
You can just make your number private and prevent people from being able to find you by it. If your issue is the account creation itself then at best get a prepaid number or use one from a 4g modem.
