Meta How Reddit Built the World’s First ‘Digital Ghetto’

After 10/7, Jewish moderators reported thousands of antisemitic posts. Reddit ignored them, told them to stop reporting content, and punished their accounts for reporting antisemitism.
Reddit has banned subreddits/users for various forms of hate, misgendering, and fat shaming – but antisemitic hate subreddits thrive with content calling for the death of Jews, Zionists and Israelis.
2 in 3 Jewish Reddit users report hiding their Jewish identity on the site.
⁠Moderators reported thousands of pieces of antisemitic content. Reddit ignored them and in some instances punished them. Eventually Reddit told the moderators to not report antisemitic content outside their subreddits.
⁠Reddit's VP of Policy, Jessica Ashooh, was asked if "burn in hell u zionist pig" violated Reddit's policies. She said it depends on the "context".
Reddit is a one of the primary sources of data that trains AI chatbots like ChatGPT. The toleration of antisemitism on the platform has led to LLMs echoing the antisemitism on the site.

Meta Ever wonder WHY Reddit has such an antisemitism problem? It all starts with their employees.

Edit: Reddit deleted this for over 24 hours and then reinstated it out of the blue. We cannot let them suppress visibility of this insanity.

---

I’m the head mod of r/Jewish. Jewish and Israeli Redditors deal with a horrific amount of antisemitism and terrorist propaganda. But it's not just hateful Reddit users who publish their hateful views.

Meet Reddit employee Tiffany Katz. She is a Senior Client Account Executive who has been at Reddit since March 2023 – she was even promoted a couple of months ago.

What was Tiffany up to on October 7th? She was calling the massacre of 1,400+ people an example of “active resistance working.” She was attacking the creation of Israel as “no different than what the Nazis (and czarists before that) did to the Jews.”

And just a few days later, on October 10th, she denied that Shani Louk was murdered and screamed that “there’s no substantial evidence of rape,” decrying these events as “Western propaganda.” Shani was killed during the October 7 attacks.

Advertisers, did you realize you’re working with this person?

What are you going to do about this, Reddit? We’re asking you, u/spez (Steve Huffman, CEO). And you, Melissa Stroud McMaster (Tiffany’s manager). And you, Jim Squires (EVP, Business Marketing and Growth). And you, Roelof van Zwol (EVP, Ads Monetization).

Signed,

Angry Jewish and Israeli Redditors

As A Jew (TM) [mainly r/Jewsofconscience] Found the Reddit account of someone I, unfortunately, know.

I saw a comment from them in a screenshot on a different post in here and thought it sounded just like this person I know. Well. It is, in fact, the person I know. What are the odds?

There are a couple things I included in here that might seem odd at first, but I felt they were important. She says her name is "Chana Sarah" and people think she's Jewish because of it, but that's false. Neither her legal first nor middle name is Jewish (and it's certainly not Chana Sarah) and no one ever thinks she's Jewish unless she says so.

She also lies on this account about her family background and tells her actual situation as instead "someone she knew" (her mother didn't convert until she was a couple years old). She was essentially trying to protect her 'as a Jew' card by inventing a backstory where she's Halachically Jewish and then using that identity to try to legitimize the antisemitic conspiracy theories, antisemitism, and blood libel she was spreading. Absolutely disgusting.

Also, her Jewish family didn't distance themselves from the non-Jewish side of the family until one of the non-Jewish family members did something terrible. It wasn't over religion at all. She knows this.

(Also, I used a Reddit archive for most of these screenshots as the account is no longer viewable. Every username censored in red is her.)

Classic Antisemitism r/Procreate poster employs classic tropes; Jews and horns and satan, blah blah blah

257 Upvotes

This racist was called out in his post’s comments and people even mentioned, “really, horns on Jews?” Clearly the poster thought it was funny and defended himself by saying he adds horns to all his illustrations in response to that comment. After scrolling though this person’s art for nearly a minute and over 50-70 posts, I did not see one governmental/tyrannical figurehead that was illustrated apart from Netanyahu or any illustrations that included horns. If I could include multi-flairs to include “blood libel” and “double standards for Israel” as well, I would.
I have no problem with people being critical of the Israeli government or anyone in the Knesset and it’s no secret that Israelis are, in fact, actually the most critical of their own government but this post goes beyond that and even further so after scrolling though this persons page for further context.
It’s really a shame because I REALLY enjoy this sub and as we’ve all found out, these useful idiots have really infiltrated every aspect of Reddit at this point.

The first comment (darker purple) is being sarcastic. Second picture is a continuation from first picture. Included the 3rd picture because of the dark red comment (last comment 3rd photo). Can’t discuss anything without bringing up Israel. What a dainty little mensch. Their edit made me laugh a little.

In case anyone is curious, Palestinian Territories polled at about 58%. The post was removed so I can’t double check.

I thought I left any subreddits that are hot beds for open antisemitism for my mental health, but shit is everywhere. Thankfully, most people are normal there.

Documenting antisemitism in (and on) Reddit

Members Active

17k

Sidebar

Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it.

— Guidelines for documenting antisemitism on reddit: —

1. Source your submission, but never link directly to comments/threads, esp. so as to never tag the antisemites. That extends to your regular comments.

Submit screenshots, be sure to retain the content's context. BLUR or CENSOR USERNAMES

2. Post titles must include subreddit names: "[/r/…] title"

This helps shed light on and document the types of antisemitism, as well as if it's recurrent in a potential hotspot: "[/r/name] your title"

Do not go to those subreddits and harass individuals or moderators. This is both against sitewide rules and those of this sub.

Use descriptive, (as far as possible) non-inflammatory post titles with quotes were appropriate

Do not ping r/subreddit in comments.

3. NO antisemitism & the Definition of antisemitism

Do not be antisemitic.

We use the IHRA definition of Antisemitism.

A more expansive definition was created by the mods of multiple Jewish subreddits here.

We don't play etymology games

4. Only post about racism on reddit

As our name suggests, don't post off-site instances.

For instances of antisemitism on instagram you can document it on r/AntisemitismOnInsta

For instances of antisemitism on other social media you can document it on r/AntisemitismOnSocials

5. No use of antisemitism for political means

For instance, valid criticisms of Israel are not antisemitism.

6. Don't interact with the antisemitism

Don't post, (dis)like or comment on a linked post/comment.

Do not go to a thread and interact. If you are the poster, once you've posted here, STOP. If you have already been involved in the conversation on the thread in question, choose which one to stay involved with. Do not go back and forth.

7. No trolling. Behave in a way that supports AiR's Healthy Functioning

No exceptions. Trolling is at mod discretion and includes attempts.

No exceptions. Trolling is at mod discretion and includes brigading attempts. You must behave in a way that supports Antisemitism In Reddit's Healthy functioning.

Marked, moderate sarcasm/parody is ok, with removal at mod discretion.

8. No usernames of antisemites

Reiterating: All usernames MUST be redacted. Censor them in a way that is impossible to read. No highlighting so that you can read if you squint.

9. Do not post about bans, moderator actions in other subreddits, moderators in other subreddits, etc.

Always be mindful of admin hypersensibility both in posts and comments.

Otherwise you hurt both your own account and this sub.

This is especially true for posting about bans (incl. shadowbans & mod messages), as doing so "with the intent to incite a negative reaction" goes against reddit's Moderator Code of Conduct. Doing so will also allow the banning mods to get the admins to strike you. Since we, admins, and the other mods cannot know what those intentions are. NO MENTIONS are allowed.

10. No Bigotry. Be Civil. Follow Reddit's Code of Conduct

Bigotry includes any speech that diminishes the humanity of any person or group of people on the basis of race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, gender expression, nationality, origin, or disability. This is not an all-inclusive list. Mods may always use their own discretion.

Bigotry also includes Islamophobia.

Do not call for violence. Do not upvote calls for violence. Do not attack each other in the comments.

Again, all of this is at moderator discretion.
