posthumousping

/ˌpɒstjʊməsˈpɪŋ/nounVerified New

Technology & AI

A notification from someone who has died — the platform's anniversary montage, a memorialized account's activity, a scheduled post arriving on time.

The dead keep notifying: the "on this day," the friend suggestion, the login from another country. Posthumousping is grief delivered through the same channel as everything else, unfiltered by anyone's judgment about timing.

Etym. — *posthumous* + *ping*; the signal that outlives its sender.

Rel. — scrollgrief
