I have so much respect for all of you. I have to admit that I originally signed up for account on voat after reading quite a bit on reddit before r/pizzagate was banned. I was keeping up the best I could and doing limited research with no breakthroughs of my own. I care very much still, but I became very tied down with a new job and engagement, as well as very discouraged because of the lack of substantial/sticking breakthroughs overtime. I have kept up with the rest of voat, but have consciously avoided v/pizzagate because I was so hopeless and didn't have the time or skills to contribute. I was just looking at the stickied summary events and there does not seem to be any new information.
As someone who has been away and completely believes in all that you do and eradicating the ultimate scum of the earth, I have a few questions:
What are (if any) the newest breakthroughs since the sticky and the top comments within it?
How can I help as someone who has average computer skills and is wary of discussing controversial topics? Especially (discussing in person) unprovoked and as someone living on Long Island where such topics result in exclusion from all parts of life?
How do you keep yourselves believing in change and awareness when it seems like interest/awareness is ever decreasing?
I don't want to accept this shit because I don't accept this shit. What can I do? What are you all doing that keeps you believing that we can beat this as a moral society?

In terms of what you can do, think about your background, experiences, skill sets, etc and then work from there. Use your expertise to give advice on leads. Most important of all, "Let your heart be your guiding key."
How I keep going? I've had to develop a sanity mantra to remind myself of to make sure I don't "black pill".
"There's horrible things in the world. I know that now. But there's also a lot of things worth protecting too." -Madoka Kaname.
I also keep reminding myself that there's people who need me to keep going on, to keep fighting on regardless of my own emotional state.
You are about to do down a very gruesome, vile rabbit hole. This isn't a swamp. Its an oily black abyss that leads straight to the depths of hell. Steel yourself and don't lose sight of what's important and don't succumb to despair.
"Don't forget. Always, somewhere, somebody is fighting for you. As long as you remember that, you are not alone."

Thank you for those wise words.
I'm starting to understand how some people went insane while researching a story, trying to do the right thing and swimming against the current. It's really important that everyone here takes good care of themselves, to keep going, because people all around the world desperately need that help right now... We can't all contribute the same way, it's ok as long as you do your best.
Like someone said, this rabbit hole goes straight to hell... When we'll hit the rock bottom of this abyss, there won't be anything else than resurface with all the dug-up dirt there was. Hopefully it'll be enough to be the starting point of their fall.
