I will say that trans reddit is not very good. There are too many baby transes on trans reddit, I think, which means there's too much inexperience. With the way reddit works, there aren't really identifiable community leaders/elders on trans reddit and so you can't tell if you're talking to someone

I'm not saying anyone "needs" to make a reddit account for any reason or is obligated to try it. It's just that I regularly see people talking about reddit in a way that seems pretty divorced from reality. A lot of the most controversial subreddits have been banned for years.

I find it interesting that most people consider reddit to be a right-wing website, because most people on reddit view reddit as being a left-leaning site. Very common refrain on reddit is "The consensus on this post means nothing IRL, because we're a bunch of highly online left-of-center people."
