Who is Nicole really? Who got messages from Nicole? Who is behind the messages? What is the resolution of Nicole's profile images? Do I really have to be a racist to join her server? This comment section's purpose is to collect all that information.

I'm not sure it's really worth worrying about ?

My understanding is, they can PM you with a code in the url like xyz123.jpg and then when your browser loads that image they will know normal web server stuff about your browser and device. It's the same information you share with every website you visit.

They can't load a tracker in your browser and follow you around the web.

Thanks for the reply, I guess I’m just paranoid about what anyone could do with that information given the political climate in the US right now. I don’t say anything on here that I wouldn’t be fine having read off in court anyway, but a lot of people here do not seem to have the same inhibition, so guilt by association is a worry of mine. Probably unrealistic, but I’d rather be a little paranoid now than extremely sorry in the future.

It's good to have a healthy level of concern.

Sometimes it's hard to know what's healthy and what's excessive.

They can link your lemmy account to your ip address which isn't ideal
