Reddit moved to ban criticism of the trans movement

Context:
Reddit has had forums on anything and everything in the past including underage girls, Nazism etc. Slowly they have moved to ban paedophilia and hate speech

The bans have left the gendercritical forum as prime target to be banned , and it is listed prominently among hate sites activists want banned along with far right, Donald Trump etc.

Now several posts have been removed there for naming a Canadian transgender paedophile and his transgender associates who campaign against rape shelters, for s&m in women's marches and other behaviour informed by their visceral hatred of women. Not only that, the poster has been permanently banned from Reddit.

Such bans and removals are an essential precursor to permament banning of the whole community something which is inevitable given the woke bro community on Reddit. This follows bans on similar content on Twitter, WordPress and others as well as arrests, injunctions, human rights tribunals other acts by child abusers, trolls and other unsavoury individuals. The intention is to silence and criminalise all criticism on all content

CaptainKirksSpookyghost it's a reference to "The Matrix". The red pill takes you out of a dreamland and into harsh, cruel reality.
In reference to women it's basically misogyny masquerading as some big reveal.

What's "red pill"?

Reddit isn't the wild West. It's more and more mainstream. It isn't "free speech" site either.
I'm not sure what it is now but it's becoming less and less relevant.
Of course the problem with free speech sites is that they take on the flavour of whoever is most distasteful and posts there. Hence Gab is Nazi, 4chan is Nazi, etc.
The dark web is all drugs, guns and bitcoin losses.
It seems as soon as a free speech environment pops up, it gets tainted, and is never seen as neutral. It may be because of who is drawn there, or it may be there are vested interests in maintaining the view that free speech is hate speech, and regulating what we say is the status quo.

"If the gender critical sub-Reddit gets banned, surely people could post gender critical views on other sub-Reddits? Then the posts might get more traffic anyway?"

No not really.

Basically Reddit is divided by topic, so you have a forum for computers, one for labradors, one for heroin, etc. Obviously if you post about transgender issues in the labrador forum then it will be deleted. And if you post in a general news forum then they will say it's transphobic and it won't see the light of day.

Also most of the feminism forums are moderated by people with penises, so you won't get on there either. A specific gender-critical forum is the only place to post such content.

Reddit is MRA central, host to much revolting red pill discussion and hostile strategising.

It is remarkable that you can see a poster object to a feminist thread and look them up to see that their entire posting history is based around commenting on women's appearance etc. I reckon it is too big to censor and if not then they ought to get shot of all the offensive stuff (which would leave it empty).

Reddit has some good mainstream areas but the dark ones are grim and so prevalent they are hard to avoid. Hopefully it will always keep the same format because you can easily get the measure of someone from their posting history.

Controversy creates traffic, every click feeds the money maker. All social media wants objectionable content for this reason only.

Reddit is a misogynistic cesspit. So very typical that they don't believe women have free speech.

Reddit's very male centric.

Even the skin care addicts seem to be mostly men.

Quelle surprise.

Viva la mn!

Arseholes seem to be in the ascendant, currently.

I'd say stay strong, feminist women who know the truth!

Men are not women.

I've been wondering when the gender critical subreddit is going to be banned. It's a prime target. Meanwhile, pedophiles and their apologists are all over that site and show up to defend and minimise every time child abuse is discussed and aren't deleted or banned. It's disgusting. Reddit is now a joke of a site
