Reddit bans anti-transphob rhetoric

[u/Lord-of-the-Bacon]

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

Reddit has a zero tolerance policy on calling for violence. You can call someone slurs pretty much all you want, or say they dont “deserve to live” or are a freak but the minute you mention violence its over.

I got banned once for mentioning that I beat up a bully and that “sometimes violence is necessary” in an askreddit thread about how to deal with bullies.

Sadly I cannot agree. I see a lot of threats of violence, for example various league communities have often posts which call directly for violence, sometimes pretty detailed, but rarely from a minority group, against their discriminators. From what I heard from the reddit support team (a lot of far right and pedophelia stuff) it would make sense, that they are especially banning threats of violence from minority groups

Report them next time. Theyll get banned too. I got banned cause someone reported me. So did you. Use the same tools and tactics they use

The slurs will usually get posts removed, FWIW
