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?
Yes, but that's something anyway;
So by joining an instance you're putting trust in the owner of the instance either way.
But there is still a difference between the owner being able to take my public content offline and them knowing my private location. However, since my instance is non commercial and doesn't make any money by tracking it shouldn't be that bad to trust them on that.
