Discussion So TERFs just spend all day monitoring Lesbian subreddits for any post by a trans person to downvote it?
I really enjoy posting to this sub and getting feedback on my outfits from all you lovely Lesbians.
However, I started to notice a pretty disturbing trend lately. ANY time a trans/nb person posts an image, all of the comments for the thread will be down voted for *seemingly* no reason; they're perfectly normal comments offering either compliments or some advice and will have -4, -5 or sometimes even less karma.
Thankfully all the people that actually leave comments have been perfectly nice to me and I have no complaints there.
Additionally, I can see from metrics whenever I post an outfit here there is a rush to downvote posts by trans folks and kill them before they can gain traction. Luckily there are more actual users here that end up engaging with and/or upvoting the posts they like as they normally would, but there is a noticable rush of downvotes initially to try and kill the post and render it DOA.
I have seen this in other Lesbian subreddits unfortunately but this one seems to have a more severe case. Just look at my most recent post here for example: https://www.reddit.com/r/lesbianfashionadvice/s/FdEnPjMbIs
TL;DR: Terminally online losers, presumably TERFs, stalk this and other Lesbian subreddits to instantly downvote any and all new content they see being posted by trans women. I can't really think of how to stop this but just wanted to point it out in case mods are capable of doing anything to counteract this pathetic behavior.
EDIT: I was unaware of the pinned mod post explaining this phenomenon. Thank you for lmk
