I use a vpn but I often forget so probably best to just walk away rather than watch IP’s get exposed. Could use tor but can’t be arsed tbh.

    Sounds like he’s a piece of work lol

    I hadn’t realized that whoever did this made a fucking bot to spread the info too, just saw that.

    It sucks, though by design Nostr is fucking horrible with hiding IPs, since you directly connect to a bunch of relays and the whole idea is to connect to relays that some NPUB is known to use. So it’s not just the client site that knows your IP, but also every relay you connect to. Add to this other kinds of fuckery like images linked from 3rd party sites, and you have the leakiest service known to man.

    Almost anything else will be a lot better for keeping your IP secret than Nostr is. In Lemmy for example, only the instance you use has access to that data, which is what you’d expect from any website that you access.
