hi loves, I need to share with you a situation I had a few days ago that really had an impact on me. So in the past, i conducted a few surveys asking you where did you find me. it’s no secret for anyone that most of you come from Reddit. about two weeks ago, i got a really bad situation with my reddit account… it got shadowbanned. that means that all i did for the past year to promote myself, to try to reach people, to build a name for myself was gone. erased. deleted. I could not use my name anymore. thankfully, after a few days of messaging reddit mods and trying to figure out what happened, i got my account restored and it sounds like i was just caught in a bad reddit filter. but man how stressful was that experience. i felt so fucking helpless. and you guys know that, as nurses, we deal with way more stressful situation in real life. a lot of you are in the medical field as well, or had experience as patients. so i know you have an idea of our reality. i’m used to handling pressure and stress, but this was another kind of stress. everything that i built myself was gone, and that was such a horrible, horrible feeling. this made me realize that it is not sustainable for me to continue to run and grow my page relying solely on one platform to get all of my exposure. i cannot only continue to grow with reddit and hope that everything goes well. Because tomorrow, all of it could be gone again. Murphy’s law was the first thing that came to my mind when that situation happened. Murphy’s law states : « If anything can go wrong, it will.» and man do i plan on respecting you now, Murphy. It is imperative for me to prepare for the worst case scenario, always. in the end i’m thankful that i had this experience because now i will anticipate problems better as I will be more aware. i’ll not rely on one platform. thank you for this valuable lesson, Reddit. To say the least, I felt pride in the fact that i wasn’t sharing other women on my profile to promote myself in this way. but today, i really hope that you understand where i come from. this was a scary situation and the thought of losing my way to reach people makes my heart sink into my stomach. i do not want to go through that again. i really hope that you understand where i come from in this situation, because i feel like it’s the right thing to do for me. i want to try this other way of reaching people, which a lot of women do through sharing each other’s profile on their timeline. I know some people may be disappointed in me for making this choice, but I promise you to not lose myself and my identity through this change, and i promise to not spam you with so many other accounts. I’m the first to be sad about this, but I really think it’s necessary since I cannot put all of my eggs in one basket again, you know? I will try this starting in August. No more then 1-2 post per day, probably not everyday. i hope you understand why i do this, and i hope we can get through this change together. 🥺 if you read this far, i love u and thank you for giving me this space to share my thoughts ♥️
