I strongly disagree.
For those reading who may not be on X, here's Fastmail's response:

That seems entirely appropriate to me, for several reasons:
- it's extremely unlikely that the person managing their social media profiles is a technical expert
- their contact page likely feeds into a ticketing system, which means they can track the issue and actually make sure to respond to you
- it's entirely possible that response was automated
- cosmotic 1y agoIt doesnt take a technical expert to create a ticket and attach a screenshot, nor is it unexpected that automation do all that.
