After some days of opening registration on my @pixelfed server, I already have 11 active users.
22 users have registered via curated onboarding. That is: they apply for an account, need to verify their mail address (which they need to do also with open registration) and then I need to approve them.
Those 11 accounts that have been applied, but are not active, are a victim of gmail.com strict mail policy. Gmail was unhappy about the mails and refused them.
Now those accounts are in a stuck state, because they need to confirm their mail addresses before the process can proceed.
Sadly, there is no way to resend the confirmation mail from the web interface (as far as I know). @dansup is already aware of this and wants to fix that.
So, if you are waiting for your account on https://pxlfed.de/ - that's way.
In the meantime gmail.com is accepting those mails, though.
gitのコミットの著者のメールアドレスのドメイン数えるの楽しそうね、って弊Mastodonのブランチで数えてみたよ。やっぱり@gmail.comが多いみたい。@github.comはGitHubのスタッフの方なのかな。
$ git log --pretty=%ae | sort -u | cut -d@ -f2 | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head
335 gmail.com
263 users.noreply.github.com
11 protonmail.com
7 me.com
5 yahoo.co.jp
4 thoughtbot.com
4 outlook.com
4 icloud.com
4 github.com
3 pm.me
Trying to order something on a website was not working at the payment step, I tried everything like removing the accent in my name, changing my delivery address, paying with different cards, changing delivery method.
The phone support told me I should see with my bank, but offered to generate an order with a link to pay, so we tried this and it didn't work.
Then, after a second call, I've been told that it was certainly my bank because they spent 10 minutes investigating and they do not block anything, and just at the end, they told me that I should try with a @gmail.com address because they have a system that may block orders from "suspicious addresses". I changed my email to something else (not gmail.com though :D ) and it worked
-_-
Who decided there that gmail.com addresses are more legit than others? Most of the scam I receive is sent from gmail :flan_molotov: :flan_bored:
As part of my green card process, I need more people to invite me to be on panels, judge things, or feature me / write about me. On blogs or newspapers or journals or magazines. Invite me on your podcast!
This is me, if it helps: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adriannatan/
Things that would be great: why I am a person who cares about human-centered tech, public interest tech, AI ethics, harms to society, being a PM when it's for the public good
