- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience

Session messenger allows you to chat without linking a phone number to your account. It’s what drug dealers use lol.
