One of the things I get concerned about is image metadata.
You can argue that you should turn off location tagging on your photos but I find it extremely helpful in my day to day life.
I’m incredibly paranoid that I’ll upload a photo with the location still attached and get my address doxed.
I know most file uploaders don’t actually keep the metadata but I have no way to be sure until it’s too late.
It’s a lot of friction to have to strip the metadata in a separate app before uploading.
Would be cool if nostr clients could indicate if metadata is present and whether to remove it client side or not. I know that puts trust in the clients but for open source clients that can be verified.
