@fluffySpectre mostly some server-side shenanigans as well as link filtering

Basically, every website you ever visit (on any device, on the Internet) is able to see the IP that you're connecting and viewing it from. (And this is one reason why VPNs advertise themselves as helping improve privacy, as they mask your IP). So, if someone links you to a suspicious looking website or image, it can be possible to fully view IP + browser info.
That being said, though, an IP does not usually enable someone to do something malicious. The worst is often location-leaking (as IPs are issued for different general regions). As a tip, you can likely easily to get a new IP by disconnecting your modem/router from the internet for ~5 min, and the ISP will issue you a new one.

And to be a little more specific, one of these links/images was shared around to various users, and we're taking action by blocking websites that help enable this kind of IP-based tracking.
