Or maybe let's name the feature restricted community or something similar, instead of private community, to not make that fake sense of privacy

I think this would likely be the simplest solution and is worth considering especially since similar concerns have been raised with Mastodon over their naming of messaging specific people ("private"/direct/mentioned only/etc.).

Exclusive may be another good term instead of private.
