If you don’t want what your posts being seen, put them in increasingly obscure places, I’m pretty sure we can even have invite only communities, or undiscoverable communities that can stave off eternal september forever.
But this is a social network, it exists for pro-social reasons, it should not cripple itself for the sake of the unsocial. Without agglomeration systems, lemmy is becoming the same as reddit, and that will eventually lead to tyrannical owners and mods, community fragmentation where everyone becomes a mutual hostage-taker of everyone else to the benefit of moderators.
If you don’t want to become part of the community, there are many unfederated servers you can use which won’t even be visible by outsiders, from your description I think that’s what you problem is, you don’t want to be on a federated server. At least maybe one that doesn’t allow outsiders in.
You’ve taken my words and twisted their meaning to create an antisocial strawman to attack. I will not engage.
That said: if you are someone who views the power instance administrators have over their instances to be “tyrannical”, then ActivityPub —a protocol which by designdecentralizes power away from a CEO and into the diverse hands of instance owners— is probably not the protocol for the sort of platform you’re looking for.
