Hey nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z can we get a new application option to help combat potentially leaking IP addresses via image loading? Maybe add a following only option here? So that we can always load images from people we're following. Thanks.

#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=1080x2400&blurhash=%5B02O%7CsNFD%25xu%3FHM%7B-%3Bxut6M%7B%252xut6M%7C%25Mxt%7EqM%7CD%24t7oeM%7B-%3Bt7-%3BM%7Bt7t7xuM%7B%25Mt7_3M%7BIUt7&x=efbb1ebe1e2ab671cc6816d40b9202649f11a43c0304dbd48959fe936a14a8de

most app default settings - keep images blur/ not load from global aka "not following npubs"

nothing special needed except user education/awareness for now

everyone donot click READ from unknown npubs in DM when u dnot wanna reveal current exit IP <-> npub until u turn some condom like tor/vpn/proxy

if you open the notification tab, the image loads there too. Not just in the DM tab

Correct. This change should also apply to notifications and be a blanket change across the application. If following load image, if not following display text image link.

key point sending "signed npub" to an image or any file server to associate it with any exit IPs (which are always loaded in any server)
