You're the second person to ask, so now I'm feeling bad. You're on a server run by a good person.
I think my ask for you would when you see antisemitism, say something. Break the narrative without being a Jew.
That's not always easy to do, and I don't expect anyone to do it all of the time.
I'm reminded of a situation that happened about twenty years ago. I was at a gaming event and there were these two guys who I've come to learn (or at least speculate) were actually KKK members, and they talked to my friend and me- clearly looking to see if they had found some sympathizers.
They started talking about how "the Blacks took all the jobs" and how the "real minority in this country are white men". It was me and a white friend of mine.
At the time, I was pretty scared and I just made vaguely disapproving statements without getting specific. I was afraid they'd find out I was a Jew and hurt me.
Looking back, I wish I'd have said something and made a scene.

I don't think people should put themselves at risk, but if you are part of a conversation and someone talks about the "bloodthirsty Zionists" or whatever, interrupt their narrative.
If more people did that, made it not socially acceptable to be antisemitic, it would go a long way.
