Meta

You should probably be aware that nothing on the fediverse is private. ActivityPub is, by design, absolutely incompatible with privacy. (This may at first seem ironic, considering how many strong privacy advocates there are on Lemmy and Mastodon. But the key thing is that on the fediverse it's entirely consensual and consists only of data you specifically chose to give it.) You should not consider even your DMs to be actually private, because it's possible for clients to intercept and display them even to people who were not the intended recipient.
