     @sun had a similar experience with Meta, was using my catch all custom domain so I thought they were just banning "meta@___.xyz" but they banned everything until I used a gmail account

     @harblinger it's extra crazy because like, I have a Japanese phone number.
     
     I think they're banning me because the locale on my phone is English lol so it very well might be a discriminatory practice, but I can't assume

     @SuperDicq Tons of stuff in japan are designed to be as obtuse and impossible to use as possible, even if you are Japanese. It's actually insane.

     Mercari: "yeah we're still not happy... to update your name we'll need the jūminhyō from the ward office with furigana on it".
     
     Ward Office: "WTF! That shit doesn't exist".
