What is a troll?

Home  Dictionary  Troll
 

In internet slang, a troll is someone who, usually anonymously, sends rude, provocative, or out-of-context messages to other users with the aim of stirring up controversy on online communities, whether digital forums, social media, chatrooms, or comments on a blog. Trolls should not be confused with haters.
