Threadjack 

To take over the content of a message thread by changing the subject of discourse to a topic outside the purview of the original subject and/orforum, while maintaining the subject line. A form of amusement for trolls. Threadjacking is distinguished from flaming, as flames are a quasi-personal attack on a poster or on a poster's style of discourse, where threadjacking is deliberatly steering the discussion offtopic.

Threadjack 

Definition:

To hijack the engagement arc of a social media thread—usually via a high-impact comment that pulls attention, likes, and replies away from the original post. A threadjacker shifts gravitational focus, often triggering Screenshattin attempts and clout siphoning.
“He dropped one line and threadjacked the whole post—now everyone’s replying to him instead of the original video.”
