    The best part is it also works on DMs, so it’s trivial to get any persons IP address. Want an admins IP address? Just DM them a message with an embedded spy pixel.

    I emailed the lemmy developers about this a few weeks ago since IMHO it’s a pretty big security issue, no reply.

      I think you’re overestimating the value of someone’s IP address. Not much one can do with it unless someone really tries to expose themselves.
