x4740N@lemmy.world 1 year agoNow 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 of the embedded image or just grab a cached version from lemmy

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.
