shunners
Those who exclude
Shunners are people who shun—those who deliberately avoid or reject someone or something.
The word appears most often in religious contexts where communities practice formal shunning as discipline: The shunners turned their backs when she entered the room.
It can also describe anyone who pointedly avoids something: shunners of social media, technology shunners.
