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.
