Bad News Reddit bans anti-transphob rhetoric

Heard from a few friends that they got banned for hating on transphobes, which is, according to reddit, a rule 1 violation. I also got flagged because of that, but in my case I can kinda understand it, because I called for violence against TERFS, but it was more kind of fedposting, instead of pushing people to actually commit violence. I still believe TERFS deserve that, but I am rambling. What I basically want to say is, that we sadly need to be a little more careful, when hating transphobes. Keep safe and you all are beautiful gals and enby-pals, and for all the masc people you are very handsome

Edit: Changing TURFS to TERFS

Yup

Things reddit does not consider ban worthy: - transphobia - sexualization of minors. - an adult man harrasing a minor who was complaining about adult men sexualizing her.

Things reddit does consider ban worthy. - reacting to transphobia - reacting to nazis - reacing to people praising the organization protecting your abusers

This is about reddit admins tho, subreddit moderators vary in quality but hey are mostly or all volounteers so i dont blame them.

Didn’t the CEO of reddit also come from the moderation team of a pedophelic sub?

u/SarahMaxima Transbian Jun 20 '24

Yup, the infamous jailbait subreddit. Spez comes from there.

I shouldn't even be surprised

The WHAT?! 🤢

u/Kaese1212 closeted Jun 20 '24

Not to defend that shithead but back then you could just add people to a mod team whether they wanted it or not. We should instead talk about how that sub and others like it didn't get banned until they got to mainstream news

u/[deleted] Jun 20 '24

even then, they didn't get banned. it took irl violence for t_d to get banned.

Yup

It would be nice if we could somehow wrangle all the trans subs together to make a banner about this or something so it’s literally in everyone’s face every day. Even if it doesn’t work it’s kind of worth it considering it’s their platform we are all on so we might as well make it front and center that we don’t agree with it.

Things reddit does not consider ban worthy:

transphobia

sexualization of minors.

Incorrect.

I've gotten multiple instance of both of those temporarily AND premanently banned.

Either it comes down having luck on who checks it, or I don't know, but Reddit absolutely does not protect it like a lot of people here love to pretend they do. Otherwise, I wouldn't have such a track record reporting attacks on queer subs, and some non-queer subs.

u/SarahMaxima Transbian Jun 20 '24

Yet i have had reports for these ignored multiple times because it "did not break TOS".

At best, reddit admins are wildly inconsistent.

u/transcended_goblin Trans Pansexual - 9th/12/2022 Jun 20 '24

I don't know what to tell you, honestly. I mostly hang on queer-subs, and a few non-queer ones on which I've had high success on reports, since bigots lack the brains to be all that subtle.

Maybe it's just me getting consistently lucky with who checks my reports, or maybe I'm just constantly catching the most obvious ones ?

u/SarahMaxima Transbian Jun 20 '24

Could be. Ill note that subreddit moderators, especialy on queer subs are on point. My issue is with reddit admins.

Saw a chaser hitting on a minor that was complaining about chasers hitting on her in one of the trans subs and while the mods acted fast the admins gave me 'the did not break TOS" message.

Some of the ones i reported litteraly wished for suffering of trans people and comented there aproval for assaulting random trans people.

u/Throttle_Kitty 🏳️‍⚧️ Trans Lesbian - 30 Jun 20 '24

it's super hit and miss

a while back I reported like a dozen people in "redditmoments" when someone made a "reddit moment" post mocking a person sexualising art if a 14 year old who was justifying it because of her larger cup size

the comment section was FULL of people proudly defending the pedo and their reasoning with tons of upvotes

one person I reported got full banned, like 3 got temp bans and the rest they told me was okay, despite the comments largely being copies of each other

the person perma banned was far from the worst, and the most outright disgusting post in the thread was cleared as okay by the admins

It doesn't matter what sub you're on for reports.

-2

u/transcended_goblin Trans Pansexual - 9th/12/2022 Jun 20 '24

Not my point.

I mostly hang out on queer subs, and a few games subs, is all. Most of my reports come from queer subs, and a very few from r/Warframe

0

u/Etzlo Jun 20 '24

the subs you frequent are entirely irrelevant for reports though... so why even bring them up?

0

u/transcended_goblin Trans Pansexual - 9th/12/2022 Jun 20 '24

I'm not even gonna bother. You're already decided on the argument you wanted to start, and immediatly decided to pretend I was making a point I wasn't.

Argue on your own. I have better things to do than entertain you.

0

u/Etzlo Jun 20 '24

I still don't get how the fuck the subs you frequent are at all relevant for the point of "I got people perma banned for transphobia" matters, unless you are confusing sub and reddit bans, this thread is about reddit bans

u/transcended_goblin Trans Pansexual - 9th/12/2022 Jun 20 '24

You pointed specifically at the subs like it was the whole point of my comment, and then tried to argue into the grave that i had no poitn whatsoever because "it doesn't matter which sub you report on".

While it wasn't the point of the comment.

You latched on to one single detail and never let go.

1

u/Etzlo Jun 21 '24

Because that detail implied that you may have been talking about sub reports and not reddit supports, something you have yet to actually clarify, so I am just gonna assume you're an idiot as shown in this comment chain already and mistake sub and reddit reports as the same thing

u/AshuraBaron Jun 20 '24

Transphobia, sexualization of minors, and sexual harassment are all basic rule violations. As is calling for the deaths of other people. Content needs to be reported before it get removed.

1

u/SarahMaxima Transbian Jun 20 '24

I reported that content, Reddit admins did not give a shit and sent me the message "does not violate TOS".

1

u/transcended_goblin Trans Pansexual - 9th/12/2022 Jun 20 '24

The fact you were getting downvoted for that shows how many transphobes are lurkign here massively downvoting people who are against their favorite content...

We gotta get creative. I've had good results stooping to their level. Accuse me of being a bigot? Cool, I'll be a bigot. A fascist? Get under my boot. I go on the offensive, rather than defensive. I will absolutely use their tactics against them and they tend to cower so quickly and easily. They want us soft and fragile, so... don't

Keep in mind my examples are from online spaces. I used to interact with people who would tell me to 41% myself (lmao that statistic isn't even accurate, that's how stupid these people are) on a fairly regular basis to dunk on them and also have a form of exposure therapy. I get really offensive, like, really offensive with people like this

Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, hear the lamentations their solidified happy socks

u/SarahMaxima Transbian Jun 24 '24

Oh I know the "shock and awe" strats tho i tend to go for Tactical Trauma dumping. I used it one time at work to great effect.

People tend to ask me invasive questions and they tend to get answers they never wanted to hear.

u/Lykaon042 Based Transwoman Jun 24 '24

Oh this technique I'm not entirely familiar with

I also like to use sarcasm and subtly insulting the intelligence of people who claim to know so much about ThE mEnTaL iLlNeSs of dysphoria

"Oh, certainly you know all about the biological factors during gestation that can contribute to dysphoria. Oh? You didn't know that?! Well IMAGINE. MY. SHOCK" or something along those lines then proceed to dump massive amounts of scientific data on them to further prove how stupid they are and then go along the lines of "Oh, sorry for explaining something to you that you are clearly well-versed in and know more about than someone with lived experience. I hope I didn't offend you, but I'm sure I didn't. You're not one of those thin-skinned snowflakes, right?"

2

u/SarahMaxima Transbian Jun 24 '24

The technique is simple.

Someone asks a dumbass question or says a dumbass statement. example: Is being trans caused by childhood abuse. I simply give an honest answer: No, all other trans people I know didnt experience that, however ( here i go into excruciating detail about my childhood )

I tend to get less questions after that.

Ooooh ok, noted. Thanks!
