attention shaming

The practice on social media (Facebook in particular) of chastising others for responding to the news they are responding to, accusing them of being distracting from "more important" issues, as determined by the scolder.

Lauren's most recent episode in attention shaming Dirk was for tweeting about Sean Spicer's latest gaffe instead of a new report from Greenpeace on the near extinction of Zimbabwean duck-billed platypi due to climate change.

Know Shaming
