I also reached out to them on Twitter but they directed me to this form. I followed up with them on Twitter with what happened in this screenshot but they are now ignoring me.

    That is 100% a bot, and whoever made the bot just stuck in a custom regex to match “user@sld.tld” instead of using a standardized domain validation lib that actually handles cases like yours correctly.

    Edit: the bots are redirecting you to bots are redirecting you to bots. This is not a bug. This is by design.

      I’d say it’s a bug in the design as it clearly fails to work with a completely fine email.

        They meant that they are intentionally trying NOT to help the customer, hopefully they just give up at some point. (That’s why they are redirecting to bots and not to an actual human.)

          Lol, why would that be true? They want to help, they just have a shitty bot

          It’d be a lot easier to not make a bot at all if that was the case. They aren’t intentionally not trying to help, they’re intentionally spending as few resources as possible on helping while still doing enough to satisfy most customers. It’s shitty but it’s not malicious like you guys are implying.

      But using a standardized library would be 3PP and require a lot of paperwork for some reaosn.
