I think it's critical that we raise awareness of how any platform based on ActivityPub is inherently poor with privacy guarantees as that distributed platform is fundamentally reliant on different instances voluntarily respecting privacy features.

In general users need to be aware of things like post deletion being unenforceable. If you delete a post from your account, there's nothing to say other accounts won't ignore the deletion, and I think that's a big deal!

But when you talk about privacy controls for QT, everyone needs to keep in mind that all such controls on this platform are voluntary.

My point isn't to say that there's no reason to talk about this, but just to keep in mind the limits of what can be engineered here.
