For what it's worth I think there's something to be said about making it actionable for someone to be linking to their own gab account in their bio, even if it's something done indirectly through a linktree or something similar. Given that this was how the stalker account this appears to be about was actually identified, the arguably generous interpretation of what this person was here to do was to further the reach of their own hate speech (because the alternatives are significantly more directly violent).
I think everyone seems to be on the same page in this occasion that moderation in this instance could and should have been more proactive more quickly, but I also can't imagine making a rule like this explicit will be harmful to the vulnerable people on this site. If someone is using these sites for anti-fascist intelligence gathering they're not likely to be outing themselves publicly about it here.
In that sense I think we should absolutely view accounts like the one that moderation failed in acting against as obviously here in bad faith and shouldn't tolerate them, and it shouldn't be controversial that they get removed. If this sort of thing is not part of explicit moderation policy it needs to be.
