  • Wow, that’s some amazing digital detective work!

    I haven’t investigated that extra data much.
    It might be part of a ‘capture the flag’ game, or not.

    Huh, interesting!

    If you would indulge me, I have a few additional questions and suggestions:

    Q1: Do you know if it would be possible to implement tools to detect and discard invalid data automatically?

    metadata is stripped so people don’t unwittingly share their geolocation

    Good to know; I had wondered about how metadata was handled.

    Q2: Is metadata stripping unique to this server, or a Lemmy-wide standard?

    If I recall, the size limit is 5M.

    Q3: Is this limit set on a per-server basis, or a Lemmy-wide standard?

    Q4:Would it be possible to implement automatic compression of large images?

    Most modern phone cameras routinely take larger photos than 5MB.

    Just some off-the-cuff suggestions, and I’m not even sure whether they would be best implemented by the instance or the platform.

    Thanks for all of your help already!
