People never understand that activitypub is fundamentally built for public data, any privacy controls have been superglued onto it and basically amount to good will behavior on the part of servers.

There's not actually anything preventing a rogue AP server from boosting private or follower only posts, for example.

Fedi is not the platform for privacy.
