One thing you can always do is make note of the amount of time and effort the person is taking to monitor your work despite not being a supervisor. You can also make that into an HR complaint, which will at least waste their time. You can present it as a form of harassment by a non-supervisor who is not familiar with nor responsible for your workload and make the claim that their insulting behavior is creating stress, distraction, and a hostile work environment.
Obviously you shouldn't do anything you don't want to, but there are some options!
Honestly, I'm terrified of losing my job, as dumb as it is (payroll automation SAAS thing for a very particular industry). I just come in, don't talk to anyone unless I have a work related question, and I've been interviewing for new jobs like fucking mad. Don't want to rock any boats until I've got something for sure lined up.

Absolutely, comrade! The best revenge is living well, as they say.
I will continue disliking the person talking shit about you, just in a way that avoids pushing you to do anything you don't want to do :). Solidarity!
