  • Bluesky And A Dead Email Address — Non-existent Bluesky Support!

    I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop on my Bluesky account. I no longer have access to the associated email but I can still log in and use it. The problem is that when I go to change it, Bluesky wants me to go to the dead email account to confirm the change. I…
