You're connecting to their servers. They're going to get your IP. This is unavoidable.

They can even * [gasp] * read the messages and things you willingly post onto their servers.

I hereby revoke the right of my messages being read by lemmy.ml administrators under any circumstances.

I don't think that's enforceable, it would be like if there was a sign that said "do not read me" which some games have done as a joke.
