file baiting

File baiting, or Discord baiting, is a phenomenon on Discord and similar social media platforms in which a file is presented as one of importance, but is typically porn or gore. Mobile devices are typically targeted as their file previews are considerably more limited than desktop devices.

Person 1: I’m so mad, that person was file baiting me

bait and brag

A play on the bait and switch. When an old friend or acquaintance reconnects with you for the soul purpose of bragging because they've run out of friends to talk to. I.e. anyone who respects them enough to listen anymore.

“Hey! Long time no talk, I was just thinking about you and wondered what was new with you?”

“Oh hey! Well that’s nice, thanks for thinking of me. Funny that you asked, I actually just had a sex change and adopted a baby boy”

“Cool. So I just got a huge raise and a bonus and went to central America! Was thinking of switching jobs and moving away cause I’m quite bored here. What do you think?”

^Classic bait and brag^

amen baiting

The strategy to push social media engagement by coming up with content meant to trigger a seemingly unconscious response to comment the word "amen", like or share.

This is typically seen amongst Filipino Facebook users and is something the foreign content creators who are fond of "pinoy baiting" content have not been capitalizing at the time of this writing.

Content creators and traditional media companies in the Philippines often use amen baiting content to boost their engagement as the dominantly Catholic social media capital of the world just can't help but comment "amen".

Race Baiting

A term used by white people to dismiss criticism and objection to racist policies or racial discrimination; attempting to discrediting the critic as a person inciting racial tension when none (supposedly) actually exists. Functionally equivalent to a Red Herring designed to distract the audience from the real issue (IE pre-existing racial tension).

Essentially, use of the phrase indicates a desire to stop discussions of racial tension. Probably because they make white people feel really uncomfortable.

"Why is it cops harass black people so much more than white people?"

"Stop trying to rile people up! You're just Race Baiting!"
