I used to run a sub that was called r/AntiTrans

I didn't create the sub, some random GC user did who then deleted her account, leaving the sub abandoned. I found it back in 2018, requested it through r/redditrequest, and was given it.

I deleted all the content (like 3 or 4 posts), and remade the sub into an actual purpose.

I made it into a resource to find other subreddits. It didn't matter if the person was critical of gender, RadFem, open to debate, wanted to be combative assholes to anyone, or even trans and stumbled in by mistake and wanted supportive subs. I answered it all. If you came into r/AntiTrans for any reason, I let you know somewhere else to go.

I locked the sub, and had 2 stickies that people could comment on. One sticky was the general purpose of the sub and suggestions, and the other sticky was Q&A.

One of my Q&As was "which subreddits will I be banned from for stating I am critical of gender?"

That question was the most frequently updated, and grew longer and longer as time went on. Unfortunately, I didn't archive the sub at any point because the purpose became impractical as time went on. Basically every large sub will ban users for "transphobia", and I had so many on the list already, I just couldn't keep up.

r/AntiTrans was banned the same day our sub here was.

I'm telling you this because r/blackladies, among many many MANY OTHERS, was on the list since the beginning. They have long-since been banning users for not bending the knee to gender ideology ... regardless of whether the dissent occurs in their sub or elsewhere.

They are not the first, nor the last, to use bots to do so. It violates Reddit rules for moderators, but Admins have always looked the other way and ignored direct questions about the practice.
