There are some nice and helpful people there in my experience too. I just found a general vibe of unease there which I only fully realised after I saw some users and actually a moderator being really harsh and then thought about the general atmosphere too.

Anyway, thanks for sharing your experiences. And if you don't mind me asking, do you think that you received hate/negativity from that thread because it was posted anonymously or was it the content of that particular post compared to your others or both?

I experienced something which sounds similar when I posted anonymously actually...they actually said that my posting anonymously was part of their reasoning for why they didn't believe me and thought I was 'trolling' (which really hurt that they'd say that I was 'trolling' with my story, especially as that was the one type of place I didn't expect to have that reaction). and just general hate for posting anonymously in general like it was something bad in itself, actually from the moderator, which makes no sense as why have that feature in the first place if they are going to chastise me for using it and use it against me to say they don't believe me. If I had known then I wouldn't have used it. I could go on about but i don't want to give too many details as they might read here. Basically I was chastised very harshly (I won't go into detail here on what exactly they said) for not giving them enough painstaking intricate personal details in time/in enough depth, even though I was confused about the whole thing and didn't know what details to give right away. I won't say everything else they said as well/all the details as I'm scared they'll read here. The whole thing was pretty unbelievable for a site which is meant to be helping often vulnerable people who have been through trauma. It seems like they are so defensive and paranoid about people 'trolling' or whatever way they tried to justify it that the way they some long standing members and moderators behave is actually just like emotional abuse tbh or harsh (and potentially damaging) anyway. I've seen them do similar to someone else and also be unnecessarily harsh to someone about spelling errors which is also strange. I didn't stick around for long though so I don't know much more.
