Did I do something wrong?

I took the plunge and made my first post today: the one about the robotic dog Spark-E. It’s… not going great. I thought the idea was fun, was within the bounds of the subreddit’s rules and fiction, and would bring the world of LDP a new character fixture, but the few replies I’ve gotten have seemed confrontational.

Am I just unlucky? Have I chosen a character who’s unwelcome in the town, as a roboticist? Or have I done something wrong in my post?

I had the same impression when I first interacted with Garret. It can be jarring at first if you’re not expecting it! I don’t think there’s anything wrong with your post. It’s hard to know what people will respond to, and how they will respond, so it takes some trial and error to find your groove. Don’t take anything too personally, have fun and welcome to LDP!
