This is called context collapse:

Context collapse or "the flattening of multiple audiences into a single context"[1] is a term arising out of the study of human interaction on the internet, especially within social media.[2]Context collapse "generally occurs when a surfeit of different audiences occupy the same space, and a piece of information intended for one audience finds its way to another" with that new audience's reaction being uncharitable and highly negative for failing to understand the original context.[3]

Me five seconds ago when someone popped into my timeline to say they hate my favorite programming language

And their profile said "please let me know if I can be nicer or do anything better"

And so I clicked back and forth and thought real hard and blocked them cause I had about enough Internet for a lifetime and I'm going to spend my energy being nice in person I think

What so you just don't care about being nice to people in UNPERSON!?

Legit though, healthy mindset

Thanks for explaining that.

Nerd.

Seems interrelated with butwhataboutism and appeal to hypocrisy. Basically redirecting the conversation to something unrelated to make the original speaker look bad.

But what about the other fallacies? You're just going to ignore those, huh?? Typical Apollists.
