No. There are a couple unpublished phone numbers but they’re a disaster. I’ve not encountered a Belgian bank that gives automated account info over the phone. Last time I called I think it was just a greeting saying “contact us through the app or email” or something like that, IIRC.
I have to disagree with your point about the references to modern technology sticking out like a sore thumb. I binge the whole show at least once a year and there are countless jokes throughout the series poking fun at technology that was relevant at air date. The first one that comes to mind is Amy’s comically small cell phone (which was a flip phone) that she couldn’t carry around because the wireless charger was the size of a toaster.
Another that I can quickly think of is the way they portray the internet, and the direct references to websites like Napster. They even resorted to making jokes based off of internet memes that have LONG since died off. For example, the entire conflict between Fry and Leela in the episode with the MomCorp eyePhone is based on the popularity of Susan Boyle’s performance on Britain’s Got Talent from who knows what year.
If references to modern tech are off-putting to you, you haven’t payed any attention in older episodes.
The crash started apparently out-of-the-blue, hitting thousands of Argentinian users on a Debian-based distro called Huayra, and specifically on version 5 which was based on Debian 10.
Everybody seemed to crash while searching for images on Google.
Google’s code was allocating 20000 variables in a single frame.
There’s Revolt that seems to be very similar to Discord. They even have instructions to self host on their github repo. Don’t know if this matters, but as of right now it is not federated.
I have an account on facebook, the last time i tried to use facebook to reply to all my friends that sent me a happy birthday, and was warned by my wife of the messeges on the platform, i was bombarded if i wanted to use it, i had to agree to see publicity and data collection, or pay subscription to use it, so i backtraced the login and never went back. From Meta i only use Whatsapp, work mandated related stuff.
For me, all the federated alternatives, serve me well.
My instance doesn’t really have enough traffic to browse locally anyway, so I mostly see my subs to start with. If I was going to block something here it would be the endless bunnyposting. Even the Oklahoma stuff is mildly interesting in the volume it comes through.
