That is really concerning. Activity Pub should have a mechanism to hide those. If by any chance, one’s identity is reviled, their entire behaviour history would be out in the wild. The more one use an account, the more information is getting shared. Social engineering is a real thing.
The only way is it be absolutely private by not interacting (lurkers), which is not good for a social media like Lemmy or by changing accounts often.

No we shouldn’t. Anyone can create an instance and scrape whatever data.
Assume that all the posts and comment you make are public and linked to your real identity and don’t say things you wouldn’t say in person.
It’s a pretty simple concept.
Shame, guess I can’t say categorising Palestine Action as a terrorist group is dumb.
My comment was misguided because it didn’t take the US social context into account.
You can’t say it, but I can though.
Categorising Palestine Action as a terrorist group is ultra dumb.
You may want to be careful then if you need to travel through the United States.

I know that already, I’m fine with what I said.
Oh god this discussion again… We totally haven’t had this before:
I don’t know if this is news to you but this is not a lemmy specific problem and basically applies to the entire internet…
So close to a sweet meter. What do you think of
“If, by some chance, one’s handle’s reviled / their foul history would be out in the wild.”
? It’s not perfect. Probably just a little more work-shopping.
