“…As a result, the Indonesian people were divided into two major groups due to differences in views and political choices. Racial and religious issues have become a campaign material to attract support and at the same time destroy the character of political enemies (Miichi, 2014;Bourchier, 2019;Afrimadona, 2021). Broken ties of kinship, friendship, quarrels with co-workers and even entering the realm of places of worship make identity politics a new threat that can disturb the peace and tranquility of the Indonesian nation.…”

The purpose of this study is to describe how Pela Gandong as a model of multicultural education has been implemented between the State Junior High School (SMPN) 9 Ambon City and the State Junior High School (SMPN) 4 Salahutu Liang, Central Maluku Regency. The Ambon conflict became a very valuable lesson for the Indonesian people, especially the Ambonese-Maluku people. That the diversity that has been bestowed must be managed properly and is a reality of life. The Ambon conflict is the largest civil conflict based on ethnicity, religion, race and ethnicity (SARA) after the fall of the Suharto government on May 21, 1998. After the Ambon conflict ended, various parties began to think about how to do peacebuilding so that similar conflicts did not happen again. One of them is implementing multicultural education based on the local wisdom values of Pela Gandong. During the Ambon conflict resolution, Pela Gandong's local wisdom became the medium. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a case study approach. Data was collected by means of literature study, interviews, observation, and document analysis. The results show that Pela Gandong contains multicultural values that have been built by the ancestors of the Maluku people, and is currently uniting Muslim and Christian students with a local cultural approach. The implementation is done by transforming Pela Gandong values in schools and teacher exchanges. Then jointly held; scouting activities, camping, Christmas, iftar, Sports and Arts Week. Both schools were also part of the 2013 film Provocateur of Peace as a campaign for peace and the spread of multicultural values.

“…The polarization that occurs in the real world-with the widespread use of social media-migrates slowly and steadily to cyberspace in the form of strengthened perceptions/opinions on various controversial issues, such as political issues, religious views, and the convergence of both simultaneously (Afrimadona, 2021;Jati, 2022;Karim, 2019;Warburton, 2020). From opinions based on subjective sentiments and feelings, polarization is born on social media (Lee, 2016) so that social media users will participate in spreading these opinions again and stand in the ranks of groups with the same beliefs and ideologies.…”

In this new media era, people use social media to share information and discuss political, social, and religious issues that have pros and cons groups. In Twitter’s hashtags and tweets, religious issues frequently trigger a hot conversation that leads to netizen disputes and street movements in society. This study is intended to reveal the religious issues that often trigger polarization among Twitter users and how they influence horizontal conflict in society. This research applies mixed-method with social media analytics to conceal religious issues in Indonesia's social media society. The data collection was done by crawling data from the Indonesian Twitter users’ tweets regarding religious issues hashtags, which is a reference for further analysis. The research findings show that the top ten religious issues widely discussed based on 23,433 Twitter users’ tweets are the hashtags (#) salafi, wahabi, intoleransi (intolerance), komunisme (communism), taliban, anti-Pancasila, politisasi agama (politicization of religion), politik identitas (identity politics), radikalisme (radicalism), and pro khilafah. In many social conversation networks, the issues are related to each other and other issues of political figures, the three presidential candidates, the general election, and the Republic of Indonesia presidential election in 2024. And concerning these issues, Twitter users believe that the issues, good or bad, do not influence them. However, they believe that religious issues impact horizontal conflicts in society. Finally, it is hoped that further studies will elaborate on religious issues on other social media to capture the big picture of how netizens perceive religious issues.

Dengan kata lain, polarisasi politik dalam media sosial dapat dibentuk melalui narasi populis untuk menghidupkan kembali sensitivitas ideologi seseorang dalam menentukan pilihan politiknya.…”

Artikel ini membahas tentang polarisasi politik dan disinformasi politik dalam rangkaian agenda pelemahan KPK yang berdampak pada perilaku politik masyarakat di Twitter. Artikel ini menggunakan konsep political polarization, political disinformation, dan political behavior. Tulisan ini menggunakan metode big data analysis untuk pengambilan data dan analisis data. Selanjutnya, metode tersebut digunakan untuk mengidentifikasi dan memetakan polarisasi isu, isi wacana, dan aktor sebagai opinion leader. Artikel ini juga melakukan pemetaan dan analisis kritis tentang narasi yang diproduksi di media sosial, khususnya Twitter. Wacana dan aktor dalam rangkaian agenda pelemahan KPK disoroti melalui tiga peristiwa, yaitu peristiwa Revisi Undang-Undang KPK, terpilihnya Ketua KPK Firli Bahuri, dan Tes Wawasan Kebangsaan. Temuan yang disampaikan di tulisan ini, yaitu polarisasi politik di antara kelompok pro pemerintah dan oposisi pemerintah dan disinformasi politik yang diproduksi dengan membawa isu taliban dan isu radikalisme. Pada akhirnya, perilaku politik masyarakat dalam agenda pelemahan KPK cenderung melekatkan diri pada influencer yang memiliki orientasi politik yang serupa.
