Yet more Reddit censorship (women’s lib sub banned)

The Women’s Liberation subreddit has been banned and deleted. I suppose it was only a matter of time. The fourth wave women sub is clinging on but who knows for how long.

Reddit is ridiculous. I was banned for hate speech because someone said that no one at all would benefit if men were banned from women's sports in the Olympics, and I replied that actually it would be good for women and girls who had worked hard to get where they were, because it would make competitions fair.

That's literally all I said, and they claimed it was hate speech!

Reddit is such a pathetic mess of cowardly misogynists

Banned subs aren't allowed to be resurrected under another time.

Since r/gendercritical was banned for hate, that means no one is allowed to make another sub that's all about being gender critical and give the sub a different name.

There are a number of popular feminist/women's rights subs on Reddit, but they aren't about trans people.

Yes - I didn't know you could do that. In fact, how do you do that? Is it something you write into the search box?

Yes

So you can either avoid a word by searching for e.g. women's rights -reddit or a site by searching women's rights -site:reddit.com. The second is probably a bit too much of a faff usually!

Fair enough, of course.

The -reddit may be helpful to people who don't want to use AI, though.

I meant if I want to search for something I now just ask AI the question, and get a specific answer.

Ironically Gemini is far better at this than a Google search.

ChatGPT used to be the best but lately I've found Grok and Gemini to be the best two. Nothing obviously Reddity in the answers as well!

Just to say: I put -ai on my Google searches because I believe that's better for the environment. You could also use -reddit that way, if you liked.

Reddit is a cesspit of far left men's rights activists.

The fact that Google keeps using it for its results means I now use AI for searches

Reddit is full of MRAs and incels. Ultimately.

unwashedanddazed · 26/02/2026 12:39

So it was banned for violating Rule 1:
"Remember the human. Reddit is a place for creating community and belonging, not for attacking marginalized or vulnerable groups of people. Everyone has a right to use Reddit free of harassment, bullying, and threats of violence. Communities and users that incite violence or that promote hate based on identity or vulnerability will be banned."

Have they seen the way women are talked about across trans reddit? Their blindness to the way actual women are treated blows my mind. Currently wanging on about how bigoted Brighton women are for needing female save spaces when there is gone of provision for trans women. Idiots.
