There is a new trend circulating among
people who have unresolved grievances
with others. It does not involve
confrontation. It involves a WhatsApp
group.
Here is how the tactic works: they add
you to a group you never asked to join,
sometimes a group with a provocative or
dismissive name, and then within
seconds or minutes, they remove you.
No message. No context. Just the cold
notification staring back at you.

| know this because it happened to me.
Again.
What Is the "Add and Kick" Tactic?
The mechanics are simple. The
psychology behind it is not.
Adding someone to a group signals to
every other member: “Look, we have
power over this person's notifications,
their attention, their presence." Then
removing them immediately amplifies
the message: "And we can erase them
too."
‘isa coontivated at ofa humiliation dressed up as a technical
action. Because it happens inside an app, the perpetrators el insulated
From accountabiy.
After all, what law did they break? They
just pressed a button, right?
Wrong.
This Is Not Harmless. This Is Harassment.
Under Indonesian law, digital
harassment is not a grey area.
The key word is pattern. One incident is
easy to dismiss. A repeated, coordinated
campaign of digital provocation is
something else entirely.
And | document everything.
Why Do They Do This?
Because they have no real argument left.
When someone cannot win on merit,
when they cannot defend their past
actions against you in any legitimate
forum, they resort to theater. The "add
and kick" move is theater. It is meant to
signal to mutual contacts that you are
someone to be mocked, discarded,
socially cancelled.
‘But here is what the donot understand: every time thes do this, the are
‘not diminishing me. They ar building my evidence file
A Message to Anyone Watching This
Happen
If you are a mutual contact, a colleague,
a former coworker who witnessed this or
was present in that group when it
happened: you now have a choice.
Silence is a vote for the bully.
If you believe in professional integrity, if
you believe that workplaces and social
circles should be places of dignity, then
do not laugh at this. Do not scroll past it.
Name what it is.
A Message to the People Who Did This
| want you to understand something
clearly.
|am not embarrassed. | am not rattled. |
am not going to reach out to ask why, to
beg for inclusion, or to pretend this did
not happen.
What | will do is continue building,
continue documenting, and continue
speaking publicly about the tactics used
by people who lack the courage to
engage honestly.
You added me to a group called
"indomie tapi pizza" and removed me
within moments. That is the level of
sophistication of your retaliation
strategy.
| have labor dispute proceedings, formal
police reports at Bareskrim, and a public
record of everything that led to this
moment.
You chose theater. | am choosing the
record.
To Every Professional Reading This
If you are ever targeted by coordinated
digital harassment, from "add and kick"
games to smear campaigns, know this:
Document every incident with
timestamps
Screenshot every notification and note
who orchestrated it
File formal reports when patterns
emerge
Speak publicly when it is safe and
strategic to do so
Silence protects abusers. Visibility
changes the calculus. The goal is not
revenge. The goal is accountability.
And accountability starts with refusing
to pretend that what happened was
normal.
