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?

Nope. I agree that this type of information should not be publicly accessible by default, for privacy reasons. But no, this is not how Lemmy works. If you aren't happy with it then this may not be the platform for you, as it doesn't seem like this will change.

I feel it should be public and connected to an account, but this account shouldn't be connected to a person unless they explicitly wish so.

Well, I certainly don't think anyone should be able to look at anyone else's vote or comment history or anything. It nearly always leads to off-topic arguing. Perhaps simply allowing users to opt-out would suffice.
