@feld my domain has been .to since 1999. In 2024 I tried opening an aliexpress account with it and it didn’t work. I had a .world domain that DID work. Go figure.
@feld I’ve had my .ca address rejected. It needs to be a 3 letter tld. And it can’t have a subdomain; addresses at mail.example.com are also frequently rejected. I’ve also encountered three or four websites that whitelist mail providers and claim that everything but Gmail and Microsoft and the other big providers are disposable email addresses and can’t be used.you’ll also have a bad time if your username is a single letter, or contains characters other than letters, numbers, period, and underline.1+@feld.me is a perfectly valid email address. Good luck getting anyone to accept it though.
Stop using all Google products too!
@deathmetal I've been very successful at that
I'm getting there. BSD, Lunix, and Windows XP are my friends!
@feld Somebody manually parsing email addresses again. Is it that JS doesn't have enough libraries for that?
