I also have a personal domain that's nearing 20 years of being online. Today qt.io refused registering an account because they didn't like said domain. I refuse to use another one. Despite already having written a repro and found where is the bug in their code. What have we come to?

Did their form say what wasn't liked about your domain? I'm curious because I remember a time, you may as well, when lots of account forms only accepted domains from known residential ISPs and would try to guess domains used by freemail providers.

These days, I'm curious why a group like QT would care.

Nope, the error message stated only that I can't open an account with this domain.
