PurposeThis research aims to conceptualize online shaming discourse in virtual communities and to serve as a practical guide for online community managers and members.Design/methodology/approachThis conceptual study explores the construction of meanings in human interaction in online communities by presenting a conceptual model, “The Triple-Responsibility Model in Online Communities,” that is based on Kantian ethics.FindingsThe model includes characterizing the roles of core participants in online communities: writer, reader and group manager; and delineating four ethical principles – truth, necessity, proportionality and caution – that can help society find the golden mean between social change and respecting human dignity and concern for an individual’s public image and provide a theoretical contribution and practical guidelines.Research limitations/implicationsIt addresses shaming in virtual communities by suggesting a balance of several key principles, including truth, necessity, proportionality and caution. This is a new conceptualization of online shaming relevant to today's digital arena.Practical implicationsThe guidelines can contribute to the ongoing political debate over what constitutes appropriate and justified regulation. Moreover, Facebook community leaders are responsible for formatting the group’s identity, the technical facets of group management and for setting group boundaries and determining the rules of participation. The posited rules may affect social media group managers, as they are called upon to leverage their privileged position and channel their media power into influencing online discourse.Social implicationsThe current study provides insights into how shaming can be used as a legitimate tool in society by implementing an ethical approach, resulting in guidelines that restrict online discourse for participants in virtual communities and affect the work of social media group managers and policymakers.Originality/valueBy presenting a new conceptual model, the authors suggest that ethics are a helpful tool and offer insights into how online communities' participants and managers should use their voice and balance between shaming and maintaining the dignity of the individual.

“…This distance, however, may contribute to less satisfaction in the virtual learning environment (Gunawardena & Zittle, 1997). The lack of social cues when using computermediated communication affects the possible depth of connection and leads to less communication, therefore, a less satisfying relationship between the individuals (Favotto et al, 2017;Turp, 2020). The inability to hear the tone of the voice and the facial expressions people are open to misinterpretation, which later harms the social relationship.…”

“…These point to the difficulty of establishing higher order friendships and claim that in virtual spaces, such friendships are more difficult or even impossible to establish (Cocking, et al, 2012;McFall, 2012;Sharp, 2012). More recent philosophical accounts (Elder, 2017;Laas, 2018;Turp, 2020), and some psychological accounts (Rawlins, 2016;Schønning, et al, 2020), argue that, while they may have some value, virtual interactions cannot be a foundation for proper friendships. This claim is most often supported by stressing virtual interactions' lack of authenticity or physicality (e.g., Fröding & Peterson, 2012), features usually present in in-person interactions.…”

Good friendships improve our lives. But philosophers, psychologists, and other social scientists disagree about the nature of friendship and the value of virtual friendships. Recent technological advances and global crises highlight the importance of answering the question: can virtual friendships be good? We argue against accounts of friendship that suggest virtual relationships are necessarily deficient, focusing on rejecting the requirements of physical proximity and complete authenticity for friendship. We propose a more inclusive account of friendship that focusses on positive intentions and experiences. We also discuss examples of virtual friendships that highlight their advantages in modern times, especially their ability to promote intercultural cohesion. Finally, we suggest implications to help guide individual and collective decisions about friendship in a way that improves wellbeing.
