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 think you could use a Tor proxy on your server to avoid sharing your IP. Or use a VPN.
