Casual privacy is blinds in my window at night so passer-byes can't see in - and casually invade my privacy.
What casual privacy isn't, is a foolproof cage around my data...

I still think the idea of casual privacy applies. There may be no way to hide all my activity, but there’s no need to give everyone one a sortable, searchable profile page one click away either.
I agree. ActivityPub messages are not necessarily public information; implementations like Mastodon and Lemmy just assume it - and there’s nothing stopping the services relaying the messages elsewhere afterwards.
Actually in my fiddling with ActivityPub I’ve made some posts and comments to a Lemmy instance which were not relayed to other instances, even though they would have been if I made them using Lemmy. So there’s definitely opportunity for systems to implement features inbetween “totally public” and “single recipient”.
