scroll alert

1. A scroll alert is a cross between a spoiler alert and a warning to ‘keep on scrolling’, recently invented. Not in wide use.
2. The information which follows ‘scroll alert’ will a) go against the norm b) will involve an alternate viewpoint which may go against your grain, beliefs, and quite possibly piss you off, c) may actually mess with your world and cause you to readjust and grapple with your values for a minimum of three days, and quite possibly more.
3. A scroll alert is a warning or disclaimer.

4. These words indicate that you are forewarned to “Keep on scrolling” unless you’re willing to engage. Just like a spoiler alert, scroll alert is a warning associated with giving away the main or turning point in a politicosocial event.
5. Precedes a statement that someone earnestly believes themselves and knows will really piss people off.
6. A term to describe the revelation of crucial elements (i.e. purported unverified facts, cause of deaths, viewpoint twists, attribution of responsibility, etc.) of a situation involving values (political, religious, moral, social etc.)
SCROLL ALERT
Charlottesville….REALLY?
After seeing a host of one-sided posts, I’ve gotta share my views. First of all I don’t see how people can claim any responsibility if they only see one side. That situation was a TWO-SIDED one.

scroll shame

The feeling of regret after having wasted far too much time scrolling aimlessly over social networks instead of spending the time doing something productive.
"I’ve got serious scroll shame today. I just spent 25 minutes scrolling and falling down one clickbait rabbit hole after another. I could have got so much done already but now I’m out of time".

Scroll Pirate

When a friend or loved one unabashedly looks over your shoulder while you are scrolling through your social media feed and reads and comments on what they are seeing. If they reach over your shoulder to scroll back or see a post, this is considered an escalation to a full on feedjacking.

Quit being such a scroll pirate and look at your own feed

Scroll Hole

When you’re so sucked into meaningless scrolling on your phone that you can’t hear and don’t notice anything going on around you.
