A decentralized site using email? That's interesting. I wonder what the email addresses are used for.
I don't think it's a good idea to use centralized email services for "decentralized platforms". I would suggest that decentralized ID system be used instead, assuming the site use centralized email address/service in place of kyc . Good decentralized platforms shouldn't depend too much on centralized platforms/services.

Hey, everyone.
Just another day coming across something new in the crypto community/blockchain landscape. I recently signed up for this new decentralized social network site, Subsocial which is actually a social finance protocol on POLKADOT. It's coincidentally another Web 3 Grantee, developed by DaPP force, and built with Substrate and IFPS.
At first, I was just scrolling through their website because it seemed promising and all. But after a few readings here and there, I decided to give their Dapp a shot and signed on it. To sign up, it is pretty easy, you just have to have the Polkadot plugin on your browser, and poof you have an account. Just make sure to input your email, and after you accomplish these tasks, you get free tokens (YEY FREE TOKENS!) That's what I initially thought, but you apparently need those tokens to operate actions on the social network site.
Overall, it's a pretty dope site wherein, they will soon integrate an NFT marketplace and all. It's basically like Reddit at its infancy stages but of course, decentralized. You can make your own “Spaces” which are basically the equivalent of Subreddits. Even made my own space and first blog post on it!
