Frequently asked questions

Q1: Shouldn't Wikipedia remove the identity of the account manager?

A1: Community consensus is that the identity of the account manager should remain up.

Q2: Didn't a Washington Post journalist doxx the account manager?

A2: Reliable sources dispute this characterization and note that The Washington Post journalist only further publicized the identity of the account manager.

Q3: Why is the account described as reposting content in a derogatory manner?

A3: Reliable sources agree that the account editorializes the content it posts, specifically in a derogatory manner.

Q4: The tweets about gender affirming care at hospitals weren't false, and I can prove it!

A4: The Washington Post, USA Today, NPR, and PolitiFact, and other publications have rejected the tweets and claims by Libs of TikTok as false. Now-changed descriptions on hospital websites have been discredited by publications and hospitals as erroneous compared to actual hospital policy.

Q5: This account isn't far-right and is actually only anti-grooming/anti-trans/right-wing/etc.

A5: Right-wing and anti-trans does not preclude far-right. Sourcing from the Washington Post, NBC, USA Today, and Vice have all used far-right to directly describe the account, while other sources state the account retweets far-right content or directly enables far-right actions.

Media mentions, page views, and other notices

This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

D'Anne Witkowski (September 14, 2022). "Creep of the Week: Libs of TikTok". Out in Jersey. Retrieved September 17, 2022. Now, if you're old like me, you might be wondering why an account called Libs of TikTok is on Twitter and not, say, only TikTok. All I can tell you is that the world is a multifaceted digital hellscape. Wikipedia explains it better: "Libs of TikTok is a far-right Twitter account owned by former real estate worker Chaya Raichik. The account reposts content created by liberals, leftists, and LGBT people on TikTok and on other social media platforms, often with hostile, derogatory, or mocking commentary."

Seth Dillon Support

I took off the content related to Seth Dillon's support since it apparently was very short term in nature. I'm not sure it really is notable if it was very short. Alternatively we could add that it ended within a few months, but I'm not sure the best language, open for feedback on that. Thanks,

"revealed in April 2022 by, separately," should be changed to "separately by" because it is confusing to read. 172.99.147.181 (talk) 05:59, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Content

Recent events, specifically on February 7th, have brought attention to bomb threats. However, there have been additional incidents, primarily targeting Planet Fitness—linked to Libs of TikTok—across 38 locations. These threats are related to the gym chain’s locker-room policies for transgender individuals, and now the FBI is actively involved.^[1]--Rock & roll is not dead (talk) 02:00, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Vague

The statement about individuals linking her to a person seen to be involved with the Jan 6 attack is vague and awkwardly placed. Although it wouldn't surprise anyone concerned if it were true, it's just speculation. Mind that I am NOT point to this in an effort to defend someone like CR or LOTT. Fuck noooo. 2A00:23C4:3E44:2C01:F922:E57E:7E65:5835 (talk) 16:33, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
