All I really remember is the creator realized she was bisexual, left and for a while everything was pretty copacetic but eventually there was some massive drama surrounding Freya(? I think) doing coke off a strippers ass and then a huge melt down over drug usage and Freya and Molly's relationship where both of them acted inappropriately as mods and got "probation" (which imo was the last real attempt by AL to have mods with any accountability or consequence).

Then there was a bunch of issues when Freya became head mod, with censorship and not having any kind of open moderation. The big split was when there had been drama for weeks over people being banned with no explanation and posts that talked about wanting less trans and bi issues and more lesbian focus being removed. That was when it started to be a thing that lesbians we're allowed to say they didn't want cock which obviously went on for years until their "new" phrasing saying that it's ok to not want a specific cock but you can't unilaterally say you don't want trans woman. Barf.

I think that's also when LA (and TL right? Which was solely for female lesbians but obviously no one needs our history) was created with the idea of a more general wlw focus, less trans talk and and more public/little moderation which then had a melt down because of mod drama and one of their mods being in an incestuous relationship with her twin sister, and then eventually they also stopped allowing user participation in moderation and now all their defining ideals are no longer in place and TL is obviously non-existent and the incest mod created a private sub which now also sucks because no one can actually say anything the moderators don't like and everyone acts like they're better than everyone in the public subs.

The End

I for sure remember Molly's drug use being a problem, I'm unsure if Freya did drugs too.

Edit: comment regarding Molly and drugs from a former AL mod who founded LA and refuses to work with Molly/Freya https://www.reddit.com/r/actuallesbians/comments/4v2zml/potential_change_in_leadership/d5v1t87/

Ah yes, ok, it was Molly with the drug issues. I still want to say it was Freya who did the ass coke just because I remember thinking at the time "wow, a shining example of trans issues" and I am 99 percent sure Molly is not trans. But, of course, it's been like 5 years since that happened and it was the internet, lol so who know if that recollection was correct.

edit to add: but also fuck Andy, she's a total psycho too and absolutely has repeatedly sold LA and her other mods down the river.

Molly was added at a time they were intentionally looking for cis mods because Freya and some other mod (I forget who) were trans, and they wanted more balance.

Were they dating at that point or did they get together after both being mods? I honestly think it's weird that Freya is even still a mod there, I don't know if she ever comments or interacts.

I'm pretty sure they were dating at the time Molly was added as a mod. I know they were in a long distance relationship and at one point made a post on AL about how excited they were to meet in person.
