I genuinely don’t recognize it and I only see it used by nazis. I also have only seen it on tiktok

      If you look closely you’ll see that it’s the same block of text in both comments. I would assume that this is an attempt to confuse content moderation bots, who might be able to flag obvious antisemitism in English-language comments, but not in comments identified as being in a different language with a less developed content moderation system.

      By the way, not to burst your bubble, but this is Tigrinya, not Amharic. After a lot of straining to recall the letters I managed to read the words ናይnay እርትራErtra which means “of Eritrea”, and the word ናይnay is apparently found in Tigrinya but not in Amharic.

      I really wish I could’ve gotten further in Tigrinya than just basic phrases that I immediately forgot plus the word for “vaccination”, but alas, there’s unfortunately way more resources aimed at Tigrinya speakers learning English or Norwegian than the other way around, so I remain only knowing how to trial-and-error sound out words.
