Is this a good idea for privacy?

I concur.

The services/platforms/networks on ActivityPub, for the most part, serve as a public forum. I don't expect privacy in that context and others shouldn't either.

I personally believe we shouldn't conflate the two (private/public spaces) and have private End-to-end encrypted messaging via an alternate platform/service to ensure people don't mix them up - maybe something like Matrix, since that's also federated and self-hostable. But that's just my opinion.
