Impossible to sign up without a facebook or apple account. If you try to sign up with your email directly, it will ask for your name, email, and password, then send a verification link to your email address. After clicking the verification link in the email, it again asks for your name, email, and password and then tells you it sent another verification email as if you didn't just try to verify the account. There's no way to get past this verification loop and it happens every time.
