ohhh my godddddd i'm glad everyone who has a passing interest in compsci has decided to be the most condescending person imaginable about concerns over cohosts security flaws. "ok kids let's all sit down and learn exactly what an ip address is and why it's not scary :)" thanks. you're right, absolutely nothing bad has ever come from users being able to fairly easily obtain that information.

btw did you know that the deeper issue is less "cohost can leak your ip" and more "any image post can be loaded up with malware, which Includes but is very much not limited to hidden ip scrapers". i guess that's slightly harder to make people feel stupid over though so i understand why you'd rather just talk about the ip thing
