Jitsi Meet no longer works without an account/authentication

My guess is that email is prone to the abuse they’re trying to avoid unless they limited it to a select few (mostly privacy-invasive) services, so instead they offloaded it to Google and GitHub which have their own anti-abuse mechanisms. I agree they should still accept certain email providers but they’d probably have to block a lot of domains privacy-conscious people use such as email aliases and the free proton.me domain.
