    Ohh no, Someone on the Internet that I’m communicating with has access to a piece of information that is necessary for communicating with me.

      Despite communicating with me, I don’t know your IP address…

          Except direct messages don’t reveal IP addresses.

          See, their point was that IP address leaking was common sense, and that the average person should know better.

          Except there is no reason to assume the average person would know better, if even the person criticizing them can’t accurately summarize the conditions that lead to IP address leaking.

          You’re using a different definition of the word “direct” than the person you are defending… They really did mean DMs too.

          Lol

        But I could include an image in this message and get your IP address easily. It’s just worthless

          Lemmy doesn’t say it has “a focus on speed and security,” call itself “simple, fast, secure,” or claim to have “the best security”

          I pulled all those claims off the official Telegram Play Store description
