Bluesky seems unfriendly to email-alias providers like SimpleLogin. I signed up with an alias and was suspended within minutes.
bsky.app email support [1] requested me to contact them via blueskyweb.xyz email instead [2], but mail from aliases appears dropped by blueskyweb.xyz.
Gave up creating an account after being given the runaround. In contrast, Mastodon have worked fine for me.

- OneDeuxTriSeiGo 1y agoThe mainline bluesky "mushroom" PDS have been struggling with an influx of spam and bot accounts so they've gotten a bit picky on email addresses (which I partially get but also find quite frustrating). Luckily there are alternative PDS that you can use without issue. Tangled[1] (the atproto github host) is one. They are a smaller PDS host so the usual caveats apply (if you act up they are more likely to notice you, downtime may occur, etc) but otherwise you can use them like you would any other PDS to interact with bluesky and the greater atproto network. 1. https://tangled.sh/signup https://tangled.sh/signup
- JohnTHaller 1y agoI regularly block throwaway email providers from PortableApps.com as that's where most of the genuinely awful community members come from. Racists screeds, death threats, and porn, oh my. The spammers, on the other hand, almost all use Gmail, Hotmail, Outlook, Yahoo.
