Is your mobile phone number in the phone book? Mine isn't. I guess you could use a landline number to prevent giving out information that isn't publicly available, but I'd wager most people using these sites these days use their mobile phones. Also even my landline isn't listed in the phone book.

Yeah, probably, but I've noticed lots of sites use security as an excuse to get your phone number. For my work account Google forced me to enable 2FA for security reasons, but wouldn't allow the authenticator, only my phone number, until they had it. Then I was allowed to switch to the authenticator. That was not a setting my employer could change, either, they tried for half an hour.
Phone numbers are used to congregate the your data that's collected on different sites to one profile. I'm pretty sure that is the main reason Google and others are pushing you so hard to give it up.
Well, you convinced me!
Same, using Firefox with DGG as default search engine

Can you elaborate how and what actions will affect my feed? I don't quite understand how this works without any login as I can't vote or write comments. Also how do my subscriptions affect it if I'm logged in to an instance?
I do like it and would wish something like that as an app.
