If you're writing an analogy about public things that were publicly posted for public use on the public internet, and your analogy revolves around "But my wallet! But my home!", you're being intentionally deceptive.
Posting on Twitter or Mastodon or anything of the sort is the technological equivalent of getting on a soapbox at the public amphitheater with hundreds/thousands of spectators. It's the farthest thing from public. Your expectations for your private home are no longer reasonable, and it's wrong of you to expect everyone else to uphold it.
If you do not mean to shout all of your messages into a bullhorn at the park ("I just wanted a small community"), then let me make this perfectly clear: You are using the wrong software. Look into a nice, simple forum. phpBB and SMF will almost certainly do the job.
Dogpiling and (illegally) harassing people who make fedi search engines won't scale.
