Cliquepost

A post (often in a server channel, subreddit, or private group) designed to mobilize a clique against a target. The cliquepost frames the target as a threat to the in‑group, often using exaggerated or fabricated claims, and calls on members to report, harass, or exclude them. Cliqueposts rely on the group’s pre‑existing cohesion; they don’t need to explain why the target is bad—they just need to activate the in‑group’s protective instincts. Once a cliquepost goes up, the mob is already assembled.

Example: “A mod posted in the staff channel: ‘New user asking too many questions. Might be a spy.’ The cliquepost turned a curious newcomer into a hunted target overnight.”

Cliquester

A member of a clique, usually a snotty group of hipsters with a lot of attitude who exclude and ignore you because you do not meet their standards of coolness.

Don't even try talking to the cliquesters; they're assholes.
