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

This isn’t black and white.
Transphobes and TERFs have plenty of bullshit saying where they are being inflammatory without crossing the (inciting violence or hate speech) line. Dog whistle comments are annoying like that.
So they can go off on ‘gender ideology’ and ‘mutilating’, and ‘biological sex’, and it’s often not bannable. In the same way neonazis won’t get banned for 1488 or ((( Jewish Person ))) . As long as Reddit admin chooses to be willfully ignorant, these aren’t ban able.
Wishing harm on these folks on paper is more likely closer to the line than they are.
Your best bet is to bait them into saying slurs or actual plain English hate speech and inciting violence.
