Is there a way to hide your activity? (self.main)

One of the things that annoyed the shit out of me when I was on Reddit is when users would sift through the post/comment history of your account to use as ammunition in an argument they are having with you now. Is there a way to block or limit access to my account history?

Either don't say shitty things, or stand by the things you post. If you're concerned about things you say being used against you, then you either know that your stances are ethically or morally questionable, or you enjoy bad-faith arguments for the fun of it.

That's assuming my past mistakes are caused by bad faith and not incompetence

No it isn't about shitty things being said. It's about you're previous post being used as a strawman to silence your current posts. Like if we were arguing about R Kelly's music royalties going to his victims and you decide to go back in my post history some months to find something I said about the war in Ukraine to use against me in my argument. It is unrelated but you didn't like either arguments so you want to use as dirt instead of arguing your point.
