    1: DM all admins a spy pixel.

    2: Coordinate a mass effort to spam rule-breaking posts and comments at some day.

    3: Distributed denial of service attack on all admin IPs on that day.

    Profit?

      I’m on kbin, so tell me: do the images open on their own on Lemmy? If not, then it works like any link one might send, image or not image. The server always can see the IP address, as it was never meant to be secret. This also assumes the admins always use a single network with a single static IP address.
