The data collection technique used was documentation which was analyzed using the Fairclough analysis model based on three dimensions namely Microstructural (Text Analysis), Mesostructural (Discourse Practice Analysis), and Macrostructural (Socio-Cultural Practice Analysis). The results of the study show that the discourse on religious tolerance carried by the @dasadlatifofficial account is that religious tolerance is an attitude that gives freedom to religious people without interfering with one another. Religious tolerance shows an attitude of respect for the existence of other different religions. Religious tolerance is also an attitude of accepting differences or commonly known as principles (agree in disagreement). Making discourse is based on Islamic ideology as a rationale and utilizing the development of the TikTok application as a means of dissemination.
