A social media / internet troll is an individual who deliberately and maliciously stirs up controversy, provokes arguments, and spreads negativity online. They thrive on creating chaos and disrupting online communities by posting inflammatory or offensive comments, often with the intention of eliciting strong emotional reactions from others. Trolls hide behind the anonymity of the internet and use their words as weapons to attack and harass others, causing harm and discord in the digital world. Their ultimate goal is to gain attention and satisfaction from causing disruption, rather than engaging in genuine conversation or contributing to meaningful discussions.
