Private messages would need to be end-to-end encrypted. No ActivityPub-based platform does this. I've been mulling over how to do it but haven't landed on anything solid yet.
Signs-ups don't have to be open, they can be closed or vetted - it's just a config option that can be changed with a couple of clicks.
PieFed has polls. But it'd be helpful to take inspiration from Loomio and add much richer functionality here to turn a poll into a proper group decision-making tool.
This wording shapes my thought better than I did in the post.
E2e private messages are easy, you just have to make them locked to the software you're using. Meaning it they were implemented in Lemmy, you could only use them across Lemmy users.
Otherwise an extension of the ActivityPub protocol would be needed.
