Is this user also anonymized since he has the “anon”

… Yes users who begin with anon seem pretty anonymized to me. Its a genreral pattern

I suppose there might be a remote possibility that a member gave themselves such a username, as unlikely as that would be.
If in doubt, look for an “@example.com” email address.

Are you sure about that? Pretty sure anonymized users have a @anonymized.invalid email address.

Not 100% I’m going by what I know (obsolete or otherwise 
) and have not recently retested this on localhost i.e. this account anonymized 2 years ago

Yeah, that very likely changed with all the updates to anonymization. .invalid is a domain we use for emails that should never be emailed. Yes, no one will receive emails sent to example.com, but better to not send them at all.

Ah yes, this account was anonymized summer 2018
I’m assuming that running some type of (pseudo)
“UPDATE email SET email '/1@anonymized.invalid' WHERE email LIKE '%@example.com'”
query could be a good idea. If anyone has run such a command with success I would appreciate knowing what it was.
