This research aims to reveal (1) the function of hate speech acts in the discourse of the 2024 Pilpres on social media and (2) the meaning of hate speech in the discourse of the 2024 Pilpres on social media. The data in this study are hate speech acts found in comments on Instagram accounts discussing the 2024 Pilpres on social media from January 1 to November 10, 2023.
