 Although it could also be a "accept cookies" like thing. so when the user first loads the app it asks them if they want to tell other users they are using it... 🤔  
 I think it's a setting in Coracle, if I remember correctly. 
 yeah it has been a setting, opt in, for a long time in #coracle  

it should be opt in

also as nostr:nprofile1qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgu3wvfskuep0qywhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnzd96xxmmfdejhytnnda3kjctv9uq3wamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwwpexjmtpdshxuet59uqsuamnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0dshszymhwden5te0wp6hyurvv4cxzeewv4ej7qgewaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8xmn0wf6zuum0vd5kzmp0qy2hwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytn00p68ytnyv4mz7qpqqdjn8j4gwgmkj3k5un775nq6q3q7mguv5tvajstmkdsqdja2havqwss8ym  points out, client devs need to do more to make their event constructions more uniform

there is also security concerns related to this especially when clients get DMs working properly and exploits start appearing for snarfing metadata from relay users (actual seen times of events, user activity periods and timezone estimation etc)

just say no to spyware!
