I think one critique of the fediverse is the lack of privacy

What? By whom? How?

Well, I mean, there is a lack of privacy. That's kind of how the platform exists architecturally. I just don't find that to be a problem, per se. It's a social platform, which makes sense to me for everything on the protocol to be "open" to one degree or another. Not everything has to be securitymaxxed.

What lack of privacy are you referring to?
