愚痴垢

意味

A venting account — a separate social media account dedicated to complaining and airing grievances.

Similar to 病み垢 but less about darkness and more about everyday frustrations, 愚痴垢 is a separate account where people complain about work, relationships, family, or daily annoyances without annoying their main followers. It's part of Japan's multiple-account social media culture where people carefully manage their online personas across different audiences.
