While I agree that "Private Mention" is an awful term to use for the reasons you describe, would you forgive me if I opined that privacy and security and safety have very poorly-agreed-upon definitions (indeed I might go as far as to say that they aren't real at all, in the sense that no organism can exist in a state of complete safety, or complete security, or complete privacy)?
My impression was always that the fediverse architects acknowledged this and made no attempt at all to obtain those unreachable objectives.
I write as an ignoramus though; I could well be wrong. I'd welcome a steer from anyone at all.
