The Trolls

Trolls are individuals who intentionally provoke or upset others online by posting inflammatory, irrelevant, or disruptive messages. Their goal is often to elicit emotional responses, create conflict, or draw attention to themselves. They can appear in social media, forums, or comment sections, and their behavior can range from harmless teasing to malicious harassment. Recognizing trolls is important, as their actions can harm conversations and individuals' well-being. Responding minimally or ignoring them is usually the best way to discourage their disruptive behavior.
