Hey guys. I'm brand new. I saw this over on Pol News Twitter page, and it led me here. I just wanted to share my hashtag thoughts because I create social media content for an international company. I'm obviously not all knowing, and I'm aware that this isn't even my place. I also apologize in advance if this is difficult to read, but I am in a car full of people right now and I'm partially distracted lol.

My thoughts would be that you have two hashtags trending in this case. You guys know you need the original, more popular/catchy option to trend, but this hashtag is also meant to create awareness to a casual user. I personally think you should add a second one that implies that this is suspicious behavior for anyone that sees it. They should know that these findings need to be followed up with more questions, even if they have no idea why.

So in addition to the official one that Voat chooses, I think you should also add something simple around the lines of #WHYTHEALIAS or #WHYTHEALIASLORETTA.

I'd personally say the first one. One problem with Twitter is the average user is on their phone and faces the challenge of texting with autocorrect. :)

Welcome! Your expertise will be greatly appreciated. We are all here to do what we can in the hopes that together we can make a difference and stop the evil people that act out their evil on helpless children and steal their innocence and take their lives as if they had no right to live. I despise these evil elites it is them who have no right to live.
