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.

I actually very seriously considered setting up a one way email to xmpp forwarder with a generic auto-reply informing people to just stop sending me email :-/

Other then for work, which is basically also not real email anymore, but something that looks like it, but is mostly contained to the MS-Teams / Exchange world, I basically never send any emails anyways.
