There have been a lot of news articles lately about a concentrated movement to get people fired for making social media posts critical of Charlie Kirk. I'm wondering how effective such an effort would be against Lemmy, where many of us provided an email address when signing up.

Not being an admin, I'm curious if our email addresses tied to our users names are stored in a database that only the SJW admins can access - or if anyone creating their own instance would have access to the same database

if its anything like mbin,and i suspect it is, the email address is keyed from the user account but doesnt leave that instance and isnt available to anyone besides admin.
