Er... is that meant to be funny? That website is asking for my email without saying what it's used for :) Also, I can't refuse to provide it and still get access to the functionality.

Literally the only thing the landing page says is the purpose and what your email is used for: "Join the Slack workspace Aptible Gridiron GDPR Slack", and "Verify your email"
Neither of those state why you need an email, though. Why not a user ID of the user's own choosing? Why does this email need to be verified?
...it's slack.
