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.

    A few years back I bought a .family domain for my wife and I to have emails at ourlastname.family That lasted a week because almost every online service wouldn’t accept it. Now we have a .org

      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.

      I went with .io specifically for this. It doesn’t look special or anything, it’s just cheaper than .org and accepted anywhere I’ve tried, so far.
