Every security respecting site has two security features:

PRIVATE MODE will hide post and comment history from others.

DISABLE FOLLOWERS will prevent other users from following.

With these two security features, Poal can be officially considered safe.

Why is disabling people from following you a security feature? If you don't want people to know what you say why would you join a site that is dedicated to free speech?

Because trolls use this to spam in threads. As simple as it gets.

None of these are security features. The word you are looking for is "privacy".

Privacy is security against trolls. They are synonyms.
