This solution works:

{% macro hide_email(User) %}
  {# split name on @ into username and domain #}
  {% with name, domain = User.email.split('@') %}
    {# concatenate first name char, loop over remaining name chars replacing #}
    {# with '*', the @-sign, and the domain #}
    {{ name[0] }}{% for letter in name[1:] %}*{% endfor %}@{{ domain }}
  {% endwith %}
{% endmacro %}
