Of course, I said that too. And unless you self host yourself you have to trust the instance you're using. But the question itself was more about lemmy in general, and most people just deploy the docker image or something.

Also, I don't believe that, assuming an average person host an instance, the host will want some random people metadata from photos. It's not big corps that process every bit of data they get.
