Does Lemmy remove metadata of images when uploading?

Everything about Lemmy; bugs, gripes, praises, and advocacy.
For discussion about the lemmy.ml instance, go to !meta@lemmy.ml.
Uploaded this test image in the comment with modified metadata (no gps tag but added software, date, vendor info as exif tags) and after downloading it does not contain any metadata anymore. So seems like at least that server does remove it?
Thanks for your effort :) So it seems like you have to trust your instance?
Yeah probably. Seems like the image is not stored in its original form in this case but might depend on server settings and the image file. So as always private data like geo tags should be removed before uploading.
