Adding the ability to hide your post history is an awful feature.
Made spotting trolls a lot harder
Meh. It’s a required feature at this point. Someone has stalked me on lemmy too.
At some point people started taking the internet beyond seriously. As if every random thing that’s mashed into the keyboard is tantamount to sworn affidavit than must be held up to scientific peer review.
It creates far more issues than it benefits. Hiding enables bad actors much more so than not hiding does, as it allows them to more easily disguise their history of bad faith arguing.
I had one guy who was a real fucking creep go through my post history. So I honestly understand wanting it to be private.
imo if you don’t want it to be public, don’t post it publicly on social media
