So… What a crazy ass world we live in! 🤦♂️ Any of you (I know @deebs@twtxt.net does) remember when Minecraft was a kids games for kids and created by this awesome guy and was open source (I believe)? 🤔 – That is until he sold it to Microsoft (who bought it for stupid amounts of money). What did Microsoft go and do with it? That’s right kids! 😅 They forced everyone old and new ever wanting to play the game to have a “Microsoft” account. 🤦♂️ – So my daughter has been wanting to play for some years now, I’ve said “No”. But she’s a bit older now, so its getting harder to say no. – So she now has an account. But in order to protect her real identity and her email email address (I’m her father, of course I’m going to set her up in this stupid ass digital world properly 🤣); I had to 1) buy a random domain name 2) delegate it to Cloudflare 3) Setup Email routing. All this so I could setup basically “junk” / “throwaway” email addresses and create an account with “basically garbage data”. 🤦♂️

(#en4agmq) @prologic@twtxt.net make sure to save the information on that “throwaway” email, as you will need it in the future. You could have created an outlook.com account, it is free.
I get it you are ranting, and complaining about the way Microsoft has mismanaged the game, but creating a random, used-for-the-game-only email is trivial. There was no need for your 1, 2, and 3 steps, if you, indeed, went through all of that. 🤣
