    Now I’m wondering if someone in bad faith could link an tracking image and just rip ip addressees in the background

    I guess it depends on if lemmy clients query the link to fetch fetch images or just grab a cached copy of the image from the lemmy instance

    • Images in comments don’t get cached, so absolutely yes. But I mean, public IP + User Agent is like minimum of information anyway. Any website you visit gets it.
