It can get as close to the county and community depending on where you are from. It got scarily close, for me, at least. Criminals will use this to analyze your profile and get closer to understand your activities and where you are from. It's why you hear about people getting SWATTed just by their IP leak. Criminals using your social media to track you is nothing new, but adding an exposed IP adds another element on what they can use on knew. It might not directly effect you, but imagine being in a censored state where Russia and China can run a malicious relay to essentially data mine user location on here. They can target someone from these countries based on what they post + their IP.
IP leak is horrible and there is no way spinning it that it isn't easy. It is basic privacy to protect your IP/location and Nostr fails to do this.
