I opened a new, unique email account to join Steemit. Then they wanted my phone number. Then the process stopped dead and I was unable to join. Next I was informed that someone tried to hack my brand new email - that I had only given to Steemit, btw. Someone with a user name that included "Fuzzy" was here the other day trying to get people over to Steemit and assured me that it must have been another site I had been on about Pizzagate, or my phone was compromised, but it certainly wasn't Steemit...
Thing is, I have several email accounts, including another one with that provider, and I have had no other problems, whatsoever, with either my phone or my other email accounts.

What's wrong with Steemit? And wouldn't it be a good idea to have stuff going in two places in case Voat suddenly shuts us down?
