Who has access to our email addresses? (sh.itjust.works)

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

Just to confirm the gist of what the admins have been saying in here, they don't really care about your address or even the fact that you're registered with your daily one.

Source: My account has an obviously bogus e-mail address associated with it. (I don't remember what exactly). By applying what little charm I have, I still have a valid SJW account.

Sure, I won't be able to do password recovery via email and other QoL stuff, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.
