Pictures posted to Lemmy: Does exif data survive? (self.main)

I have occasionally posted like, cat photos to social media trusting that identifying metadata is removed, since the mouth breathers that design things like smart phones put social security numbers and goddamn GPS data in every picture that's taken. Does Lemmy strip that data out, or am I gonna have to blank that myself?

I had read in another thread that pictrs strips all exif data. Someone else has said they uploaded a picture and the data was removed.
