No. They're direct. They're not private.

Ah, I see. So it's the same mistake that Lemmy users make when thinking that Upvotes/Downvotes aren't public.

It sounds like DMs on Mastodon are public, but are commonly mistaken to be private then?

I don't know why anyone would think any of this stuff is private. It can be pseudonyms, but that's up to you.
