What I do is to run the exiftool to strip all the metadata from the image. Next, I check if there are any identifying details in the image like landmarks or background details (e.g. stuff on my whiteboard). And finally I check for the unwanted reflections or for the setup that could be recognised outside the community I share the photo with. Last but not least, I never share a photo in more than one place.

I don't upload photos anywhere public for this reason. For screenshots I just strip the exif data, and if it's a screenshot that goes from edge to edge of a screen, I resize it so as to not give away info on the size of my screen. I also don't share the same image in multiple places. If I have any kind of custom theming (fonts or colours) in a screenshot I also usually change it to something more generic, unless the point of the screenshot itself is to showcase the theming.
