Lilia chan wants to find a place where she feels like she belongs

For a long time I've been looking for communities to feel like I belong, like Spacehey, Discord, TikTok, and many others.

A few months ago I joined a design community on WhatsApp. It used to be good; it was fun to make designs and chat with friends, but little by little the community started to die, only being sustained by controversial people and exposé channels.

Today I was accused of plagiarizing a famous designer, saying that I copied her bio (even though there was nothing similar), precisely because the font I use is the same as hers. That was enough for someone to post it in an exposé group and talk badly about me. I received death threats and they even said they would leak my data. To make matters worse, the image of my bio that this person posted in the group was all bugged. I was insulted a lot, and I couldn't say anything. Even if I did, they would just throw more hate at me. I started to get very nervous and ended up fainting because I didn't want to. I told my parents I fainted because of a vitamin deficiency.

I spoke with the person who accused me and we resolved things, but what they said about me and all the threats I will never forget.

It's horrible to spend hours of my day striving to create beautiful decors, only to have them accuse me of something so serious.

I literally fainted from so much nervousness about what happened, and I also found out that someone cloned my bio.

I'm feeling kind of bad about this, and I think I need some time to recover from what happened. I was seriously thinking about leaving the community for a while, since it's a mess because of this designer, who was considered a "goddess" in the community, being exposed and everyone seeing the brutal crimes she committed.

People attacked me relentlessly, taking out all their anger on me because of this designer. I am extremely traumatized by what happened and even more so because the people I trusted the most didn't care.

you have to leave this community ASAP!! the sooner, the better, trust me!
im sure that with enough looking, you can find a new community with better members who will enjoy your designs. and if you're not ready to jump to a new ship, i understand! if you want to share it to a small amount of trusted people, that is always a choice too. i'd be more than happy to see some of your designs if you're keen on sharing them in a non judgemental space :)
