Who else can't create Github account?

Tl;dr: Impossible to create a new github account.
Long version: This morning I noticed my WG tunnel was not working anymore. After some troubleshooting, I noticed it was the new android app which was the problem. So I wanted to report it. Like many other (FOSS) projects, it goes... through Github. sigh OK, since my older account has been flagged (aka Shadow banned) because I use an email alias, I need a new account. So I had to complete many weird captchas.
Well after all (see post image), registering is not possible. :D I followed Github troubleshooting steps, I realized the issue is with arkoselabs, one of their captcha supplier. Somehow it does not load, even with a clean new firefox (listed as supported browser) install without extension. But no problem since arkoselabs support was so helpful...
sigh... So I decided to give a try opening a ticket with my existing flagged account. Guess what? Yeah you're right. Not working either.
I have conflicted feelings because I'm happy to be kept away from a Microsoft product but I want to help a cool project by reporting an issue. All in all, it's quite funny I think.
GitHub closing in on two 9’s, I see
One eight and a couple of sixes?
Considering Microslop’s support of Israel… maybe they’re going for two 8’s instead?
Just do the sensitive thing and drop GitHub.
I have tried multiple times using a temp mail service like temp-mail.org or adguard's temp mail. I always get this same error. I can say that this has been the case for at least 6 months.
No surprise that they’re blocking temp mail accounts. It’s an easy way to get rid of bots and bad actors.
Some privacy conscious people get blocked too but, whatchagonnado.
Good.
They nuked my account a long time ago in the name of 'security.'
Fuck 'em. They did me a favor. No one should be using any microsoft product.
