Verification issues

Tried multiple times to get verified and no email was sent. Contacted the help centre and no response.

Fun and Fresh

An enjoyable Canadian social media experience. The devs are working hard, and any glitches or bugs are efficiently dealt with.
The community is wonderful, and the main feed is free of grifters or rage bait. There's writers and artists and musicians all sharing their work, and there's daily games like #HashtagWars and #Honkfic. Love this place!

Nope for non-Canadians

1) Codes delayed so that when you try to sign up for an account, by the time you get the code it's already expired. 2) When I wasn't getting the codes by email I tried my phone number (which I just don't do); now getting 10 spam calls an hour. 3) Finally got an account; if you're non-Canadian you, can't get verified to post anything or comment. I sent an email to the address that pops up on the website; they wrote back and said "you need to contact this email at our organization" – instead of just forwarding it for me. And when I sent an email to that other email address, it bounced back as undeliverable. I signed up because I saw a post about meta-alternatives. Do what Carney would do and just say no! [to this app]. Not good.

Code

Code came - hours later, then it wanted government ID scanned. I don’t think so
