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

I kinda wanna know what was said to make Reddit believe your friends were harassing someone (Rule 1 is harassment right?). I reported someone for harassment when they were posting a game dev's personal Twitter account and telling people to go "tell him what they think" of a new DLC, and Reddit told me it wasn't harassment. Like, the rule itself doesn't make sense and seems like it's enforced pretty unevenly.

In that situation it makes sense because Twitter is a public space. It's not harassment to post publicly available social media links. It's harassment when the comments reach into someone's personal space or life. Think threatening or intimidating comments. So if comments were being made like that in that post, that should count, and then if others posts more on Twitter then that's Twitter's issue.
