I don't think you can claim there's a "lack of privacy" when things that are intended to be public...are made public.

As I said here, both the admin of the sending and receiving instances are able to view direct messages. If DMs are encrypted that's no longer a concern, which is why in my comment starting this thread I said this news was good.
