I also reached out to them on Twitter but they directed me to this form. I followed up with them on Twitter with what happened in this screenshot but they are now ignoring me.

    Doesn’t surprise me one bit. I’ve noticed that a lot of websites will only accept .com and a few will only accept email addresses from popular providers (Gmail, Hotmail, outlook, etc.)

    My guess is that it’s trying to reduce spam and fake account generation.

      My guess is that it’s trying to reduce spam and fake account generation.

      Thus preventing the growth of any small providers and further entrenching Microsoft, Google, Apple, and a handful of others as the only “viable” options.

      Feels very relevant to the fediverse, with how people tend to compare it to email.
