As I finish the new @pixelfed app onboarding screens, there are a few places where I want to make it easy for users to contact instance admins via email.
This would require all @pixelfed instances to set this field in the admin dashboard so its available via the instance endpoint, but would only work if they all did this.
Maybe I could make this a requirement (for our app), and verify it periodically by sending an email to the address and unlisting servers that don't comply.
Thoughts?

It's not really much different to having a postmaster email address.

@dansup @pixelfed Good thing for more trust and additionally it could create awareness that pixelfed is not only a single server. but also on admin side it could provide more responsibility for the users on the instance.
This should be opt in for completely anonymous instances, which should not be listed in the official app then.

@dansup @pixelfed why email when the app itself is literally a communication platform?
As in, why not an emergency account (with captya etc) which would DM the admin on Pixelfed or Mastodon & email back the response?

@pixelfed @dansup what about self hosted instances where there isn’t sign up?
