Ban Raiding: When an App Users organizes or singularly targets an account, profile and/or user for the purpose of getting the account banned. This is achieved by spamming or manipulating blocking and reporting features. Often this is done in retaliation for an offense or righting a perceived injustice. However it has been often used as a bullying tactic in hostile and toxic applications. Apps such as IFunny.
I don't like Asshat McGee. I have a Ban Raiding idea. It's easy we'll get him banned by reporting all of his posts.
(A ban raid is almost never mentioned on the app openly as an attempted to organize which would put a User at risk of being banned themselves. Instead, the idea and organization would be initiated on another app for example such as Imgur or reddit. If anything, code talk by mentioning the word banmay galvanize the hive mind. The best counter to this is to simply delete the ban comment under your post and block the user immediately. However that will not deter anyone determined to take it to the next level.)
When trolls join a forum or similar platform with the intent of getting it banned via the excessive posting of violent, racist, or generally inappropriate content.
"Bro did you hear? r/yeagerbomb got hit by ban raiding."
The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
