A form of goalpost manipulation where the ultimate objective is to negatively target a social group through documented interactions. The socialpost is the moving standard of acceptable behavior within a community, designed to elicit responses that can be used against the group. First, members are encouraged to express themselves freely. Then, their expressions are cataloged. When the "right" quote is obtained—one that can be taken out of context, made to sound extreme, or used to stereotype—the post stops moving. That quote becomes the "proof" of the group's true nature, shared widely to ridicule and condemn. The socialpost has done its work: manufactured evidence of a group's supposed flaws.
Example: "They wanted to discredit the disability rights movement, so they set up a socialpost in a support server. First, they asked members about their frustrations with ableism. Members shared honestly. Then they asked about anger. Members shared more. Then they asked about dreams of accessibility. Finally, one member said something that could be framed as 'entitled.' That quote was screenshotted, stripped of context, and posted widely: 'See how disabled activists really think.' The post had moved until they got what they needed."

The half-assed attempt by European airlines to offer a premium airline seat by sticking a fucking piece of plastic between two economy class seats. Snobby business pricks who sit at the front of the plane still get to sip on a drink and judge the masses as they are herded to the back of the cabin, however they must be confined to the same inhuman space and rancid hot-pocket meal as everyone else.
