What about countersignaling? ;)

Gonna get downvoted for this, but I don't believing counter-signaling is a useful abstraction - there's just signaling, period. The reason counter-signaling (as conventionally defined) may raise your status is because it displays indifference or less reactivity.

Downvoted for that.

Counter-signalling is a useful abstraction, so long as it is understood that it is a strict subset of 'signalling'.

Fair enough.
