@WanderingInDigitalWorlds My apologies for breaking etiquette, my goal is to reach writers and so I just picked any hashtag related to writing I was familiar with. I’ve removed all but “writers” and “beta”.
Aside from the misuse of hashtags, is there any other reason my post would cause suspicion for you?
The app is a personal project motivated by a novelist friend of mine, and I’m trying to reach others like them specifically to give people an enabling and safe tool to use.

@TheEjj The initial opening post felt really off...It activated my feelings of doubt. As co-opting unrelated hashtags is one of the common behaviors I see malicious actors use to broadcast their bait for users. While you might have good intentions, the vibes were off and it will take time for me to get over this visceral feeling. Sadly, I can't really offer anything more concrete to work with (not without a lot of thinking). Don't know if I have the spoons for that today. However, I do hope that your project does get off the ground and become a great thing for writers to use.
