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
Each instance’s database contains the email addresses of local users only. Lemmy does not share email addresses between instances.
Viewing users’ email addresses requires directly querying the database. They are not visible through the API.
Are ip addresses of posts stored? Or sessions?
