social antibodies

Silicon Valley investor and writer Paul Graham coined the term to describe an observation that a population develops “social antibodies” in response to behaviours that have come to be perceived as harmful.

An example he cites is cigarette smoking. Once a popular and accepted habit even within intimate spaces, after smoking was banned in enclosed spaces it quickly became socially unacceptable aided by vocal people who acted like messengers in the system.

It could be argued that a busybody and a social antibody are two sides of the same coin.

Social antibodies are forming around the issue of media companies giving a platform to misinformation.

Social Media Refugee

Those people who no longer are allowed on major Social Media platforms, despite never breaking the Community Standards. Attempting to create their own platforms results in the shadowy players getting ISP'S and Server Hosts to deny them service, thus leaving them essentially voiceless in today's society. Also see "Zucked"

My friends, I regret to inform you I am now one of the Social Media Refugees.

Social Clumping

A social clumping refers to people's tendency to clump in groups. This may be tied back to our evolution, in which staying in groups or tribes was necessary for survival.

"It's so weird Gavin, every morning you and your friends make a clump! I've decided to call it social clumping"

"Oh my goodness Vivian you're so right as always!"

social media gender impersonation

The act of signing one's self up on social media sites under the opposite gender f-sag or to gain access to certain gender restricted groups.

If I'm a guy and want talk to lesbians without being labeled misogynistic I might commit social media gender impersonation on something like KIK.
