is selfhosting public stuff like XMPP, Email, ActivityPub, on a homeserver good for privacy? (lemmy.ml)

if I have communications with someone through the internet with a homeserver. I would inevitably give out my IP address. Is that a bad thing? In my country they don't have services like that, RTCing would be a bit sluggish using available euro servers.

And? isn't this entire thread about "leaking" IP being not such a big deal for most people? You can always run a VPN on your home server if you want to "hide" it when not at home.

If you have a dynamic IP is your IP leaking even a problem?

That doesn't really make a difference I think.
