Trolling

Trolling refers to the act of intentionally provoking or upsetting people online by posting inflammatory, off-topic, or controversial comments. The goal of a troll is often to elicit strong emotional reactions or to disrupt conversations, rather than to contribute meaningfully. Trolling can occur on social media, forums, or comment sections, and can range from harmless teasing to more serious harassment. While some engage in trolling for amusement, it can lead to negative experiences for those targeted and disrupt online communities.
