As a remote worker who left a high cost of living city (NYC) myself, I'm all in favor of promoting remote work, but I don't see the value add in me adding my email there. What exactly do I get? Job listings? The site doesn't really make it clear.
I guess every startup these days starts off with a fancy landing page who's goal is to get you to input your email, which they then use to gauge interest and decide whether or not to actually build out the product. Doesn't really tempt me to want to sign up.
Also I'm all in favor of promoting underdeveloped communities in America, but my #1 hesitation would be boredom. America seems extremely rural outside of the big cities and you need a car to do anything, and I'd imagine there isn't much of a sense of community. I grew up in the suburbs of Washington D.C. and even that I found very boring. I'd love to be proven wrong, but in any case that's why I choose to work remotely from outside the U.S.
