I agree, but the commenter there is also correct, I wouldn't call it "private" either. There's no encryption, what you post is completely out there and public, and ultimately any server owner can track you as much as they want. I think it's more of a grey area.
Privacy is a spectrum, it's not black or white.
It's still a step in the right direction, many of the existing alternatives on PrivacyPack.org would fall in a grey area.
You could host your own instance if you're really paranoid about privacy.
I agree on gray area. I feel the type who's super into privacy would like us so long as our caveats are super upfront when we advertise. We're "private" in that we have no trackers or other surveillance to block, but we are not private in how ActivityPub works (at least from what I remember when Fedi was new, forgot it all by now) and that definitely has kept me from using, say, PixelFed and posting my real life pictures on there and trying to migrate all my friends over to put their family pictures, vacation pictures, "feelin myself today" pictures there too.
