ratioed is either when a post (typically a tweet on Twitter) receives more replies than likes (greater than 1 ratio of replies to likes) or when a reply to (presumably disagreeing with) a post receives significantly (a multiplier of) more likes than the post itself, both indicating that the original post stated something likely incorrect or perhaps very unpopular.
