A public forum (be it old school message boards, Reddit or Lemmy) is by definition not private. It's more about the policies of a given platform; whether you do allow algorithmic content targeting and other schemes to "drive engagement".
Yeah, I think the big selling point for me is not the privacy on Lemmy, but control of conversation.
