The Fediverse seems thrilled with Jews leaving the platform through continued widespread antisemitism.

@serge The label antisemitism has recently been used to address topics that I'd not see as antisemitism like asking for a ceasefire in Gaza, like MSF , Oxfam and the UN do.
This inflationary use of the term means to me that the term looses its meaning to me.
When you say widespread antisemitism in the Fediverse, I personally have not seen a lot of antisemitic posts from the people I follow.
If you consider Oxfam and MSF as antisemitic, then I would say this term is politically used.
You understand this exact argument was used as the basis for the creation of the word antisemitism in place of Judenhas, with the intention of delineating what Jews called Judenhas and the obviously respectable, scientifically, and morally acceptable antisemitism?
It's just that, in hindsight, what was being called the "respectable" antisemitism was the same as or worse than the "vulgar" Judenhas. But I'm sure this time, it's really just the Jews misusing the word... definitely...
