I think they are leaving out something quite important in this blog post - nobody is using their real names here.

It's very different from Meta or Google or whatever big tech company people have accounts on, where they know your real name and many more details, such as phone number and address.

I don't see the privacy danger in someone sweeping up what we are talking about here, since we are pseudo anonymous. Am I missing something?

Whats the value of random aliases discussing something and why is that a privacy issue?

If you have concerns that your posts will be public on a public message board, you're kind of fucking stupid. It's like being concerned that you will be visible if you leave your house to go to the store.

Bloonface.com has been posting anti-fediverse propaganda for a while now. It's time to stop listening to what they have to say.
