Haha. I sent them an opt-out notice by email, and it bounced!
They are using Google email servers for discord .com and Google has apparently shadowbanned me. It gives an error message saying "The account [my email address] is disabled." but I have never created a Google or Gmail account, and my email address is on a domain not associated with Google at all.
So I've completed my obligation to opt-out. Discord will have no record of it, but I have the email server logs to prove I sent it.
If, in the future, anyone needs to sue Discord and forgot to opt-out, feel free to use this same excuse.
Classic. Assuming that's the email you registered your discord account works, wonder how that domain blacklist even works if it's your primary login. It must have been added after you registered.
That's a major problem with any non-standard email domain names... They're always at risk of being blacklisted by the big names due to "spam" (which conveniently entrenches the power of the big player domains like google). It basically means you can't ever self host email because many large sites will auto blacklist EVERY email server until approved.
