99% of registrars do it the right way, so the domain is in your name. What Njalla is doing is not really common, and they usually market it as a unique feature.
Your email showing up at eurid is a good sign :)

Hi, I’m Stanford. I’m 26 and have a passion for #technology, mainly #networking, #linux and #servers.
I enjoy tinkering with different servers and stuff, I just like to learn things by doing it 😜

You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
Nope, when you register a domain at, for example, Namecheap, this domain is legally yours. It is registered to your name, and even if Namecheap doesn’t like you, they can’t just take the domain away from you. (excluding for legal reasons, of course)
If they do anyway, you can take legal action and complain at the NIC.
Njalla offers domains by proxy. So they register the domain you would like to have for you and let you use them. However, they have registered the domain in their name, so they own the domain. If Njalla decides tomorrow that you shouldn’t use the domain anymore or they want to sell it to someone else, they have the full legal right to do so.
tl;dr Good service if you want an anonymous domain you don’t really care about. If you want a domain for something important, don’t use them.
Just keep in mind it’s not your domain; it’s theirs.

Yes, due to the GDPR, they are no longer allowed to disclose private information.
Depending on the registrar they either respond to whois requests with just nothing or just with themself.
