A thing that maybe folks don't realize about ActivityPub & the fediverse:
ActivityPub is for publishing your activities. It's mainly designed to disseminate and spread things around. It's not really designed to keep things secret or compartmentalized.
There are copies of your stuff in lots of places. Your server purposefully sends your stuff to other servers. Even "direct messages" are just sort of a friendly agreement between servers and admins, not a private channel.
If you don't want what you say to end up in front of many eyes, don't use this network to say it.
