A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Mailbox.org doesn't allow you to sign up at this time. Is this.. getting teary eyes lemmy.. having impact on the webs?

They block countries that originate a lot of spam from signup, which includes the US @smokedclover@feddit.de. You can use a VPN to signup, though I did have to reach out to support at one point very early on to finalize some provisioning. I don't know if it was related to the geo-blocking, it's been awhile. But I've had no problems since.

"We apologize, but for maintenance work the registration of new accounts is currently blocked. Please check back later." But it still says that so there probably is some maintenance going (wr)on(g).
