Hi, I used to run "anti-trans" subs

You are part of the problem. No different from the reddit admins, just have a different angle.

How? I linked only to verified crime reports from trustworthy news outlets and posted screenshots from social media sites of TRAs/TiMs threatening violence towards gay women (and others, but they targeted lesbians mostly). I followed reddit's site-wide rules including censoring all identifiable information, like TRAs/TiMs faces and usernames. Pointing out hatred of others is hateful apparently lol. I put "anti-trans" in scare quotes for a reason... there was nothing hateful about my subs. Any genuinely hateful comments left by users were removed swiftly. I made it very clear in the rules, slurs and advocating violence towards trans people is unacceptable; if a user repeatedly flouted the subs rules I would ban them permanently.
I noticed the censorship ramping up, and sensed a purge may well be on the horizon. I was fed up, so left the sub for others to do as they saw fit. I regret that, it was selfish.

You very well may be right: typically, those of that ilk aren't against censorship in principle, they're just aghast when the same sorts of rules are applied to them by a slightly different mob.

I'm an individual, you have no idea what I believe in. I do not advocate for censorship of any kind and that was not the purpose of any of my subs. It was precisely because I am against the censoring of uncomfortable truths when it goes against the "narrative" that I made my subs. I reported on verified crime stories and posted screenshots from TiMs/TRAs threatening violence toward lesbians; something swept under the rug by TRAs. Other people covered detransitioners, child abuse, etc... You don't know what you're talking about lol.
