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 you’re really concerned about leaking your email address, I’d suggest using an anonymous mail service like https://anonbox.net/. Just create an one-time address for registration and don’t forget your password ;). That way you don’t need to trust the admins nor their server security.
My email provider also has a service where they give you a throwaway email address that’s only valid for a month. Maybe yours does the same?
Thanks for the tip. I wasn’t concerned about using my real email when I signed up for Lemmy when Trump wasn’t the president. Not sure if it’s possible to change the email tied to your account.
