What are we going to do about it?
Sorry for the Google Translate Link. An easy alternative is much appreciated.

But many people don’t want to have everything completely public, even if privacy is a illusion there.
We have to accept that and provide a solution for both.

Yeah, I don’t post private shit on forums, I discuss things publically so I can collectively have a conversation with countless other people.
If you want to have a private personal conversation sure use a private chat room, but I need that public space to discuss and learn, active publically accessible forums / lemmy / other equivalent communities are goldmines of information that benefits all.
That’s why I specifically wrote “completely public” not “private”.
I think most people know that a discord server with a few hundred or thousand members can hardly be considered private. But I can imagine that there are people who don’t want to put it directly online for everybody to find on Google. Not that I like that.
You can lock down forums to were they’re un searchable unless you have a login. Tons of forums are like this.
