its blocked in Turkey i am surprised it opened after any amount of trying

its not just your data point its everyones data point

pypi has blocked signups from outlook before. I don't think they care about the impact it creates

I know a bunch of sites who do that and the problem is usually that register emails get flagged by outlook and never arrive, causing a lot of support burden. Easier to then nudge people into the direction of Gmail or other providers that don't have these issues.

it was in the context of blocking email providers because of malicious mass signups (https://blog.pypi.org/posts/2024-06-16-prohibiting-msn-email...)

I've been down that road before. Blocking Outlook and Protonmail filters out 0% of legitimate users and 75% of bots. You do what you can so you're not always 1 step behind.

two wrongs dont make one right

afaik opera mini uses its own thing for transmitting web browser from client to proxy server not just html it's called obml i think

indeed it is, and i think the meaning was mass sacking yes
