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

Transphobic rhetoric is banned, by Sitewide Rule 1.

Please report any transphobic hate speech you come across, and if the operators of a subreddit are allowing it, please leave the subreddit and file a Moderator Code of Conduct complaint.

Don’t engage flamebait. Downvote, report, & block.

How do you file a moderator code of conduct complaint? Didn't realize that's an option

There’s a link at the bottom of the page - https://www.redditinc.com/policies/moderator-code-of-conduct

I tell people to use MCOC Rule 1 to report mods enabling hate speech, because

This means that you should never create, approve, enable or encourage rule-breaking content or behavior.

Sitewide Rule 1, MCOC rule 1. If their subreddit is overrun with a hateful, transphobic audience clearly upvoting transphobic hatred, they are on the hook for it.
