Description
Describe the bug
Logging in will fail if the email has any capitalization.
To Reproduce

- Go to https://app.spacebar.chat/login
- Register for a new account
- Log out
- On the log in screen, put in your information but change any amount of letters in your email to be capitalized
- The login will fail
Expected behavior
The server should convert the email to lowercase and log you in regardless of capitalization, similar to how Discord does it.
