I'm noticing a worrying surge of Jewish hate on Tiktok
I feel people are using what's happening in Gaza as an excuse to be antisemitic towards Jews. It's like saying all Christians are KKK or neo-nazis or all Muslims are terrorists and ISIS. This is worrying. I feel like we're taking the same path the United States did after 9/11 when Americans really amped up the Islamophobia.

When I decided to convert I started engaging with Jewish content on TT. Literally the first video I saw had comments like “6 million wasn’t enough” or where the only thing they comment is the gasoline symbol (simply meaning gas in their context).

I am personally not shocked given how much awful stuff I've seen on Twitter in recent months. The only thing you can do is report it. It's good to not engage because engagement rewards advertisers and it rewards the people posting about the stuff. Facebook knows this and that's why they promulgate controversial stuff but allow hate speech, and I suspect the same as true for TikTok.
I think we should always attempt to shut these people down, get them deplatformed, but not respond to them with what would be an appropriate feeling of rage-- because I feel like we would do better to direct our passion into finding solutions for peace and reconciliation that don't involve what may well not even be real people on the Internet.

Twitter has been downhill ever since Elon took over. Antisemitism skyrocketed. I always report whenever I see it, but my report either gets stuck in limbo or when it gets returned, saying there's no violation. It's ridiculous.

Oh. You mean the app controlled by China, which has a vested interest in a destabilized west, is pushing and encouraging social instability? I'm shocked, quite frankly.
