This is by no means a complaint towards the hardworking mods and staff who are doing their absolute best to maintain and defend this site. This is totally my issue and my intent is not to spread fear. I'm just curious if others are feeling the same and how they're dealing with it.
I'm just feeling more and more paranoid on the site and generally more suspicious after the NYT article. Before, I used to just scroll through posts and read the content. Now I wonder with every profile I click whether that person is genuinely interested in the RTD for themselves or if they're just another undercover cop or journalist posing as a regular member. Is anyone else struggling with this? I feel more reluctant to comment, engage, or DM people, even when I actually kind of need to. I'm also hearing stories of people being approached by other supposed members trying to dissuade them from ctb altogether.
Is that changing your experience at all navigating this forum? If so, how? How has it changed the way you interact in this space and with the people in it?
