There's a world of difference between witnessing something in public and following someone around, making note of everything they say and do "in public." We call the latter "stalking" when an individual does it.
If I click your username, I see everthing this account has posted to Lemmy. There's no real-world equivalent to that.
Nearly everyone using Lemmy knows that's how the software works and should keep that in mind when posting.
Looking at someone’s post history != following a person around.
Further following someone around is not stalking there has to be an action that would make someone fear being harmed.
