    ActivityPub does not have support for private messages. Services that try to shoehorn a direct message as “private” are misusing the protocol. You could configure client-side encryption but thats outside the scope of ActivityPub

      That’s true, but neither the article nor the discussion are about ActivityPub.

      Both are specifically about Lemmy, and Lemmy does have private messages.
