Definitions
The act of posting angry, emotionally charged content on social media, typically in response to something that provokes outrage. Rage-posts often lack nuance or measured argument, driven by immediate emotional reaction. The term acknowledges both the platform behavior and its tonal quality -- more visceral than a normal complaint, less coherent than a reasoned critique. Common enough online that it is practically a genre of its own.
He spent Sunday afternoon rage-posting about the referee's call until his followers started muting him.
