mispost
Send somewhere incorrect
To mispost is to send something to the wrong destination—a letter to the wrong address, or more commonly now, content to the wrong online account or forum.
Someone misposts when they accidentally share a personal message publicly, or post in one subreddit when they meant another: Sorry, mispost—meant for the group chat.
The noun describes such an error: That embarrassing mispost stayed up for an hour before I noticed.
