Digitallighting
A contemporary form of gaslighting conducted through digital platforms—social media, messaging apps, forums—where one or more participants systematically discredit, confuse, and undermine another’s perception of reality. Digitallighting uses techniques like selective screenshotting, public mockery, coordinated downvoting, and the creation of alternate “evidence” to make the target doubt their own memory, judgment, or sanity. Unlike classical gaslighting (typically intimate and private), digitallighting is often public, involving multiple actors, and can escalate rapidly across platforms.
Example: “They edited her comments out of context, posted them to a hate group, then mocked her for ‘paranoia’ when she tried to correct the record—digitallighting, rewriting reality through coordinated digital abuse.”

Proxy Digitallighting
A form of digitallighting where the gaslighting is performed not directly by the original antagonist but by proxies—friends, followers, or automated bots—who amplify the disinformation, harassment, and reality‑distortion. The original instigator maintains plausible deniability (“I didn’t say that; my followers just care”), while the proxy network executes the attack. Proxy digitallighting makes it difficult for targets to identify their abuser and impossible to escape the coordinated assault.
Example: “He never directly harassed her, but his 5,000 followers suddenly flooded her mentions with doctored screenshots—proxy digitallighting, using a mob to do the dirty work.”

when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.
This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.

Grindset
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.”
