What is a 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.
