One question comes to mind, does the email you put in when you register at a instance get saved somewhere, and does it stay when its overwritten?
You can use the email for password reset, so it must be stored by the instance. Whether or not it gets overwritten is up to the instance, so it's good security practice to assume it's stored in perpetuity unless you have reason to suspect otherwise.
My instance didn't require me to get an email, but if they did so you can use those email forwarders like simplelogin, duckduckgo, or firefox.
My instance didn't ask gör email.
On my instance it stays in backups for up to 7 days. But if I ever get a request for providing email address because of pirating, well it's a known fact backups do fail sometimes.
