chipoko
means a ghost account or a throwaway social media handle that you create to hide your true identity from other people or in other words, a keyboard warrior's social media handle for special operations.
Listed below are some of the reasons Zimbos may temporarily use chipoko:
- to maintain a respectful image in the local community and workplace environment because HR might see those tweets.
- to address particular persons who are friends of friends without ruffling the feathers of other close friends in the mix.
- to deliberately start a cyberchimurega for personal gain (clout chasing) or for the sole sake of just kuzvifonera.
