Banning subs with wrongthink while doing absolutely nothing about subs which actually call for genocide and violence on people.

There are subreddits which call for the death of innocent people, murder, rape, mass killings and bombings of innocent people, and make fun of such people who get oppressed, yet reddit does not care about it. If you are going to ban subreddits, ban subreddits like that, but instead they choose to ban subreddits that either just have conservative views or who don't consider trans "women" as women.

It really shows that they think that considering trans "women" as men is worse than mass killings, rape, murder, and bombings of innocent people. That is what the recent bannings tell me.

If you lurked AHS, they mention one of these subreddits, but instead of focusing on that they focus on total non issues.

I'll be honest, the line should be pushed pretty far for something to get deleted in my mind. Actual serious calls to violence are quite rare online and anyone who spends time in a community should be able to tell the difference between tasteless jokes and "oh shit this guy is about to commit a crime".

Here is how bad these subreddits are, this is clearly calling towards violence towarards a religious minority:

"We should f*** their (Muslims') moms and throw them at the banks of the river Ganga. (Translated) [+8]"

There was a genocide done by Myanmar on the Rohingya Muslims, they did very horrible things to them burning babies alive:

Here is a thread on AHS about it

https://reddit.com/r/AgainstHateSubreddits/comments/gdi835/rchodi_we_should_f_their_muslims_moms_and_throw/fphzps0/

In India there is a problem with extremist Hindus commiting violence against muslims. These are not jokes.

They don't even quarantine subreddits like that.

It is strange how instead of targeting subreddits like that for their bans, they target subreddits that say men are men and should not be allowed in women's spaces. That tells me they think it is worse to call men men and say they should not be in women only places than it is to call for literal genocide against a religious minority.

I remember trying to report a subreddit like that, and Reddit does absolutely nothing to them, these recent bannings tell me what they truly care about.

Even before the recent bans, Reddit did not care about it, they did not care about it then and they don't care about it now

They don't care about hate and calls to violence, what they care about is people disagreeing with their ideology.
