misposted

Sent wrong address

Misposted describes something sent or published to the wrong place or recipient.

Mail can be misposted when delivered to an incorrect address, but the term appears most often online: a comment misposted to the wrong thread, a photo misposted to a public account instead of a private one, or content misposted to the wrong social media platform.

I misposted my rant about work to my company's Slack channel instead of my friend's DM.
