Does Lemmy remove metadata of images when uploading? (discuss.tchncs.de)

I used to manually remove for example the GPS location when using Reddit since I don't trust them. Does Lemmy or any Android client remove it by default?

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?

I believe this has more to do with pict-rs than Lemmy (the image handling back end that Lemmy uses). I'm struggling to find specifics on this from my phone right now though.
