 I do.

That’s not the point.

What % of users do you think use a VPN? What % do you think even know how to use one?

 for images we can use an optional image proxy (not even web browsers do this), for relays we can use MASQUE (apple private relay)

it's not that its not solvable, but I think people exaggerate the issue. whats the threat model exactly? someone learns the rough geographical area that you're posting from?

 I think most modern social-media websites won’t show a media file directly from its source link. There will be a proxy or a middleware in the website.
