Probably better to post in the github issue rather than replying here.

I absolutely agree that its a problem. The problem is there is nothing stopping companies/governments from doing that now, and I don't know if its feasible to make them actually private on Lemmy.

Right now, they aren't private, you just need a few extra steps to see it all.

Agreed. I've never liked that it's already as public as it is. I remember when Lemmy was taking off and there was a discussion and to me it seemed like people were in favor of Lemmy stepping up user security, but seems that never happened. If user security isn't critical, than the Fediverse is a complete failure and should NOT be used by anyone for any reason.
