Honestly, I feels like a spite ban

It absolutely is. I can honestly say I rarely saw anything on there I'd genuinely describe as hateful. And on the rare occasion someone did post an actual slur, or it was just a post purely mocking someone's appearance, they'd get called out on it at best or downvoted into oblivion.

Anything actually hateful, like what most sane people would classify as hateful, would get downvoted. The problem is that "hate" is apparently wildly subjective. Saying that transwomen shouldn't be able to compete in women's sports is likely considered "hate" by a good portion of Reddit users and likely all Reddit admins.

I'm not so sure on that one. If the last few days have shown anything it's that sports at the very least tend to be people's line in the sand. Even r/news and r/worldnews had to have their threads on FINA's policy locked/deleted, because most of the comments were "Well duh".

I think it's a decent portion, not the majority. It's possible that they're fewer than I think but just very vocal. The majority of comments in r/subredditdrama are happy that TIA was banned, and even some commenters in the KIA thread are.

Honestly, I was banned from SocialJusticeInAction. I talked to their mods and cooled my tits. They are on hateful shit fast.

I just can not stand TRA's and this new wave LGBTA "were so sensitive" dictator bullshit.
