Title. I’m not the best with privacy… But wanted to upload a picture of my pupper. Thanks!
Exif data is stripped when uploading to Lemmy.
But you never know (unless you run your own instance) if your instance has been modified to record it somewhere before it is removed.
But it is an open source project and the developers views are strongly in favor of privacy, so yeah you can self host it or check the source code. But I think it’s safe to assume they didn’t program it like that.
Note that people who host an instance can theoretically change it, but still I wouldn’t worry it’ll actually happen.
Rule #1 in internet privacy: don’t assume best intentions of anyone. Just because it is open source does not mean whoever hosts the instance didn’t modify the source.

Pascal indexes are the best
Instance admins are pulling the code down and implementing it in their server. They could easily slip in some malicious backend code and there would be no way to verify it.
Apologies on the delay!!! Work happens. Good to know that is covered.
How about Imgur?
Yes, big platforms have stripped this for years. It is in their best interest to do so.
Well… Ever since I left reddit I’m not just lurking around. I feel compelled to participate as a fuck you to reddit. Didn’t know they did that
@Butter_My_Buttcheeks anybody know about kbin?
I looked at kbin before going with lemmy… So not sure what kbin can do
Just guessing based on this open issue, kbin has not done this yet.
Look at who you responded to. It’s one of the usernames you pinged. Just saying 🙂
I think that’s a kbin thing, where any time you reply to a comment, your comment includes an @ to that comment’s author. I think the only one they intended to “ping” was butterface
Buttercheeks!
Not a kbin thing… might be an extension though. I’m on kbin and no automatic mention was added to the top of this comment when I replied to you.
It’s a setting (default off) called
Add mention tags in entriesunder the “Writing” subsection.Oh, interesting! Thanks for pointing that out. Side note: entries… I hope kbin adopts better language for what to call Reddit-like posts (articles), Twitter-like microblog posts (posts), and comments (entries?). I never would have guessed entries == comments. Maybe this is ActivityPub-specific naming? It reminds me of a past job where we surfaced internal technical names as the names of products and features… it just confused customers.
Yes, there needs to be a glossary somewhere to get people up to speed, or some kind of on-boarding process. It’s also plausible that some of the naming conventions are from translation weirdness, and, as you say, backend Activitypub naming conventions that frontend users don’t normally see.
I made a magazine (aka a community, aka a sub[reddit]) specifically so I could play around with kbin to figure things out. Right now, trial and error is all we have, as I imagine all the devs are more busy with more technical issues than naming conventions.
Great question, but also better to remove it yourself just for the peace of mind.
If sharing from iOS, you can chose to strip the information when sharing.
The language on the toggle however suggests the metadata is only shared when using AirDrop.
I’m not sure anyone would want to steal your butter.
It’s quality butter
How do you apply it?
It’s a good idea for the sake of your privacy to remove the metadata from the picture. While for a picture of a pet it is less important, it’s still a good idea to get in the habit of nixing the metadata. Don’t make it easier for you to be tracked and profiled.

What? That would likely give away the location of your home.
