I've heard this security concern before, but I'm a bit confused about the real attack vector here. I mean let's say you do this - you post an image to some random Lemmy instance and behind the scenes, you gather all the IPs which fetch the image. What malicious thing could you do with that? Genuinely curious.

We are not YPTB. If you have a problem with the way an instance or community is run, then take it up over at !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com.
- Addendum: Yes we know that you think ml/hexbear/grad are tankies and or .world are a bunch of liberals but it gets old quickly. Try and come up with new material.
