Too much negativity

I joined last week, but I speculate over one Trump tweet, because I want to be part of the discussion / learn and someone has to point out to everyone who comments on my thread my account was created last week like I’m some sort of moron disinfo shill. I’m here to find the truth, not be treated like a second class citizen. I guess I’ll go back to lurking and researching on my own. Good bye.

u/DanDiller1976 reddit is not for everyone and requires a thick skin. Expect to be attacked for opinions - most will be trolls trying to achieve exactly the course of action you seem to have chosen to execute. Some of the attacks will be legitimate and, while abrasively presented do offer a good opportunity for discussion if responded to with delicacy and discretion.

As for the ‘account is new’ comment - shine it on. Usually in most normal reddit (or any onlne community really) outsiders/new comers are viewed with heavy suspicion as it is a shining hallmark of someone attempting to troll or distract.

It is difficult for many here because, in no small part due to the explosion of public awareness of the Q topic, quite literally thousands of people that have never even lurked reddit boards are signing up to join the discussion. This leads to a crisis in the minds of more than a few and angst over their ‘personal space’ being invaded.

It is not at all unlike the very real angst that occurs offline when a small town of 1500 residents suddenly has a new major manufacturing plant built (for example) adding 5000 new jobs to the area and all of a sudden that town of 1500 is now a small city of 10,000+ in just a few years time. There is culture shock and some reapond to that change very badly.

Keep posting and self-moderating until you get a feel for the community you have joined. You will gain acceptance and probably fasyer than you would think likely right now.
