"Disposable emails are not allowed." for my primary, personal email.

Ironically I'd need to make a disposable email to even register.

Sorry to hear that, that's our fault I'm sure. (There's a reason many services require non-VOIP phone verification and we didn't want to go that route, this is an unintended consequence). I know you're likely not invested in the outcome of having this fixed, but if you send an email to the address listed on the contact page (https://doublespeak.chat/#/contact) I'll take a look and see how we may be able to resolve this on our end.

Thanks for the feedback, we'll review this internally either way.

I'll do so but being honest my email provider is often understandably blocked due to its roots and affiliations with 4chan so I'm not usually surprised when it is blocked - but I found it ironic that I'd have to create a throwaway email to avoid using a throwaway email. :)

The game was pretty fun! I think I ended up finding a prompt that could be re-used to break every level but I wasn't able to figure out one that broke it from the start. :(

“Disposable emails are not allowed.”

FIY they also banned anyone that used a throw away email prior to them adding this filter later. No warning, no request after logging in. Just ban. Given I rapidly finished game, I would have had to pay to play more anyway, impressive!
