No. They're direct. They're not private.
Ah, I see. So it's the same mistake that Lemmy users make when thinking that Upvotes/Downvotes aren't public.
It sounds like DMs on Mastodon are public, but are commonly mistaken to be private then?
I don't know why anyone would think any of this stuff is private. It can be pseudonyms, but that's up to you.
