There's a coordinated effort right there to upvote the TiMs, trans threads are very upvoted and there are several obviously fake threads like "Omg, I love trans women, I never realized how great they were because I hadn't met one in person". Plus that whole place is full of male sexuality, lots of talking about top/bottom, posting pictures of women as objects, gross sexualizing posts that are perfectly in line with the sexual fetishization of stereotypes of femininity...

Exactly! I was just lurking in actuallesbians and it's such a masculine space it's physically uncomfortable! The way they talk about women and being a lesbian is completely different then how truelesbians was. TL actually had discussions about women's struggles dating and accepting themselves and posts about dating and girlfriends and femme/butch dynamics never felt objectifying but on AL it feels like a bunch of straight guys playing at their idea of lesbians, based on anime, porn and "kweer kid" cartoons. I can't relate to the majority of the posts or posters there.

One can literally buy Reddit accounts, Reddit likes, and I’ve read that employees there have infinite numbers of gold stickers they can use to guild posts.
