So I (14f) don’t usually use social media platform like TikTok, instagram, and etc. A friend of mine recently told me to get discord though, and added me to a large server with dozens of random people whom I didn’t know. Most said they were my age or a bit older, and many made immature jokes and stuff but that’s to be expected of kids my age on the internet ya know? But everyone seemed nice enough. So anyway, I thought everything was going fine until somehow the topic changed to religion. Many of the people in the server started sharing their, well, very strong opinion on religion. At some point they noticed I wasn’t interacting much and they asked me what I thought. I told them I wasn’t super comfortable discussing my opinion, but the real reason was that I knew that they wouldn’t agree with me based on what had already been shared. They then started bashing on Islam and that made me a bit upset. I told them that it wasn’t fair to treat people like horrible people or terrorists just because of there religion. I also mentioned that as a Jewish person myself who has to deal with harmful stereotypes all the time it made me very upset and uncomfortable. The whole server blew up with people who I thought liked me suddenly calling me a colonizer and a murderer and bring up the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. After sending me death threats and telling me to KMS they banned me from the server. So yeah. I deleted the app but my friend is now mad at me and saying that she refuses to speak to me for making her look like an idiot in front of her online friends. Looking back on it I should have just ignored the conversation and not said anything but whelp, too late now.
TL:DR I mentioned I was Jewish on discord and now friend won’t talk to me and I keep getting death threats
