As long as you call black men the N word with the hard ER you wont get benched or banned. Go read the rules then look at the lickylicky font who is actually a white male. You can tell since old white men always come into black female spaces with a xesually degrading tone always. The only way you get banned or benched is if moderators dont like you. On any other messageboard if you use slurs you automatically get banned but not lipstickalley. The only way to get banned is to trigger a mod which means you either have to make fun of a celeb they stan for OR tell the truth about IR dating. Thats it. Oh yeah, you also get banned if you say something about trans people since the owner of LSA is from reddit and reddit loves trans/gay people.

Dangerous to mental health
I've been a member of Lipstick Alley (LSA) for a while, and while some discussions can be insightful, the overall environment has increasingly felt toxic and detrimental to my mental well being.
One major issue is that, despite having options to block certain subforums like Romance Alley or Pervs in the News, those topics can still appear if the threads are trending. This defeats the purpose of user control and boundaries. If I’ve chosen to block content, I shouldn’t be exposed to it anyway.
Beyond that, LSA often functions as an echo chamber. Certain opinions, especially around race, age, dating, and other identity related topics, are treated as absolute truths with little room for nuance or opposing perspectives. Dissenting voices are often dismissed or dogpiled.
For someone like me who has struggled with rumination, this environment can be especially harmful. When you see dozens of users co-signing and reacting positively to highly biased or cynical takes, it can begin to distort your own perceptions. You start doubting your personal experiences, questioning your relationships, and even second guessing your values.
To make matters worse, the site does not allow users to delete their accounts. This can feel punishing for those who have grown, changed, or no longer hold the same points of view they once did. Being permanently tied to a platform you’ve outgrown makes it even harder to move on in a healthy way.
This may not affect everyone, but if you're prone to overthinking or internalizing negativity, LSA can amplify that in unhealthy ways. I now wish I could fully disconnect from it, and will do so mentally.

Horrible
You cannot delete your information off that site which is a violation. The admin is so desperate for advertising that they refuse to remove your information.
LSA is a lifestyle for certain fonts. Its where they go to escape. Look at the old head fonts from 2005 to 2010. They never got married, never had children, have horrible jobs and have never missed a day of posting on LSA. A good example of this was when Vhexeri exposed sevenof8 because sevenof8 left her linkedin tab open when she screenshot something. Vhexeri took it and exposed that she was not married, she was unattractive and she worked at a call center. Another oldhead was the font who wrote about the good doctor and admitted to keeping a clipboard of her lies so she wouldnt get tripped up. She stole photos and mixed womens identities to pretend to be them online. That is how serious lsa is for the most unwanted people on earth.
Mods arents mods they are just buffer people who make sure the chaos (rac ism) remains. Most of the mods are just anti blek females and you can search their post history to see their anti blekness. All the sites ran by blatt women seem to go defunct and thats because blatt women in general are very toxic and cannot be trusted. All they do is harm people emotionally, physically and verbally.
If you want to be cyberstalked by a 50 year old worthless granny, have your data stolen and have mods change your responses to thread then go ahead and sign up.

I dont think this company can improve…
I dont think this company can improve sadly. Bk women have always been toxic but LSA just returned the favor. Yes the site is wyte owned. The mods are still the same they dont have much power. I was most active there from 2009-2015. Check out lipchapalley on Rddit and you will see a document there showing you how mods used to talk about fonts in secret groups. Its not a conspiracy.
LSA is owned by reddit mods so they use the same mechanisms. Many reddit users are bots that support the subreddit they are in bought by companies. So if you post a specific word that bot will run to your post and try to counteract you. That is what LSA is doing. Now I lurk but Jazz zy is one of those bots and iced castles as well. LSA has a tech team but the mods are not computer savvy to control these bots so all they can do is put them on timeout in effort to trick you into believing they are being fair and just. You can look this up.
If LSA was fair and just they would timeout everyone who derails and everyone who uses sl urs but they cant since no one would post. Do you remember when you were getting random infractions for no reason? That was LSA testing 3rd party AI software. Again, the mods are not computer savvy so it was a mess. This is a problem because all 3rd party software needs is your username and secret key which you can find on the network tab in google dev tools. Leave the network tab open then log into LSA and boom your username and secret key are there. Companies use those credentials to take control of old usernames and create bots. 3rd party sites do have your data.
The mods do not have control of the site and frankly they are not smart. But back when it was discussed on dark matter the mods who had biracial children were specifically chosen. Why? Because they knew they would be the most unfair bias mods. On dark matter condi was exposed and she is no friend to the bk community. Just check out the document posted on lipchapalley and you will see what chrispartlow exposed.
This site was meant to crash and burn.

LSA was bad back then but much more…
LSA was bad back then but much more entertaining. There was still a lot of color ism back then and the doxxing was bad but you would get banned if you doxxed anyone or showed their photos. NOW, not so much. If they dont like you they wont do anything about doxxing.
Whoever said that many of the thread starters are people who work for lsa and many are bots is correct. LSA doesnt make money on traffic per say but how many users there are.
As for the real fonts its just a bunch of bw who are pretending to be local celebrities online but in reality they are loners, incels and degenerates in the bed room for a quick buck. Thats why they are so mean and bitter on there. Joining in 2005 and maintaining an active account to 2025 is diabolical. Thats like going back on neopets and having convos with children. The most active, bitter users on there are bw in there 50s who think they can compete with 20 year olds in looks. Horrible. It shows how semi sentient they are. They legit think they are smart but keep getting exposed.

Used to be a great site
Used to be a great site. Now its just full of secret employees and staff from Record labels and big business pushing agendas and narratives. Dont even bother. Go to Reddit.

Careful I was abused and sex trafficked…
Please don’t use here.
Very degrading and dangerous site.
Low life intentions.
I promise, they mean you no good.
Wealthy but low quality people. Black women deserve better.

Actually insightful. Necessary for black women. Could do without the internalised sexism. Ignore the other reviews it's from controlling men who are racist and misogynistic.
Okay. I'll bite. I am not much of a fan of this website but that doesn't mean it shouldn't exist. You literally have 4chan and all of reddit which is basically straight, white men being racist, misogynistic, xenophobic etc. and they are allowed to get away with it because it's considered "normal" to view the world through their eyes (spoilt much?). If it's okay for them, it's okay for black women to have the same. In fact black women above everyone should have this space because they are the most marginalised group. There is no way it is remotely acceptable for straight white men to think they should be the only people who get to criticise others. Nope. They simply cannot cope with not being in control of how they are seen. Again, not a fan of this website because some people are straight up looksist with huge amounts of internalised misogyny BUT let's see these people in the reviews criticise all of the straight, white male heavy forums, subreddits, comments sections etc. on the internet FIRST (you know, the people at the top punching down) before you say anything about Lipstick Alley. You won't because punching down is your forte. Disgraceful. I'm not 100% sure they should even be on trustpilot since they're not offering a product or service. It's almost as if a straight white male set this up just to go on a misogynistic and racist rant (which is what the awful reviews are). Look how controlling these men are when they are not in charge and treated as they treat others. Four Stars because it's an insightful forum and can be funny at times. I'm taking one off for the internalised misogyny.
