  • I assume it can be seen by admins?

    I trust my admins, but I still used a forwarding service because there's always a risk of an attack exposing data. Unless there's some other security there I don't know about

    • Yes us instance admin can pull the email address form local users.

      • Can you pull for foreign users? Curious what other federated instances can see

        • select person.id,name,local,local_user.email from person join local_user on person.id = local_user.person_id where person.id =2;

          id | name | local | email

          Email is only available for local users and only if filled in on the signup form

    • There’s no interface for it, but the emails can be extracted from the database, no doubt.
