Bluesky is even worse, some of their emails come from "[email protected]".

They have to make posts to assure people it's not a scam, especially as they'll ask you to mail ID etc to that address:

Microsoft is the 4th largest company in the world.

There should be a long list of companies whose policies are worse than theirs.

At least Bluesky has an excuse of not being a Fortune 50 company. What’s Microsoft’s excuse?
