@dansup @pixelfed I think making an email address mandatory (and verifying it, maybe with a magic link now and then) to be listed in an onboarding dialog is okay. But if you (as server admin) care for a more private space you can simply skip this at the cost of not being listed during onboarding with your instance. Since every responsible service provider should share a way to be contacted (my personal opinion) there would be no harm in making this way visible.
