Most mature social networks do remove this information to prevent users accidentally sharing their locations. Can someone positively say whether Lemmy is aware enough to strip extra information from photos?

    Looking in ImageRepository.php it doesn’t appear that images have their extra data stripped. Also testing it on my dev instance showed that GPS data remained in the image. Should be an easy fix since all image uploads are processed through that repository.

    Edit: In fact there’s already an issue open for it - https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/374
