The individual known as a troll in Somali is someone who intentionally posts inflammatory or provocative messages online (such as in social media, forums, blogs, chat rooms, online video games) or engages in other activities disrupting life online. The behavior and motivation of trolls can range from benign to sadistic. These messages can be humorous, sophisticated, exaggerated, misleading, or misleading in content, and they are often intended to provoke emotional reactions from other people, or to manipulate the viewpoints of others, akin to teasing or provocation. Their actions are primarily intended as a tool for disruption, to incite a negative reaction from others in order to create confusion or distress for other individuals. Deliberate actions can create a sense of fear or uneasiness, part of an intentional strategy to disrupt others' online experiences or to divert attention or harm others. Such manipulative actions are essential aspects of the troll's toolkit, designed to achieve a certain impact on the credibility of information.

On another note, the terms and practices of the "troll" are often associated with internet discourse. Recent years have seen an increase in trolling and the harms of the internet. Courier-Mail and The Today Show have utilized "troll" to describe someone who disrupts online spaces with the goal of causing harm to users. Furthermore, representations of trolling are found in popular culture, such as the HBO TV show The Newsroom, which portrays a significant rise in encounters with individuals causing harm online and generating malicious comments.

Usage The term "troll" concerns individual behavior. Some readers may see the allure of activities like trolling as humorous, while others perceive the act as potentially dangerous and legally objectionable, even in the absence of conflict. Particularly egregious forms of trolling involve cyberbullying or explicit advertising. However, the term internet troll has also been used to describe the manipulation of information, offensive speech, and even political memes.

The "Trollface" is an image sometimes used to symbolize internet subculture aesthetics.

At times, the term is misused to label anyone with strong, differing opinions or views. The misuse of this term is seen as an affront to the value of open dialogue, as the use of "troll" may obscure genuine discourse or debate. The psychological profiles of people who engage in trolling behavior often include sadistic tendencies, a triad of malicious intent, and personality traits such as the so-called dark tetrad found in internet trolls. Some researchers suggest trolls may not always recognize the consequences of their harmful actions. Farhad Manjoo criticized these views, pointing out that if one genuinely considers themselves a troll, they may greatly underestimate the harm they cause.

Responses

A key strategy in addressing where one should engage with trolls online is to refrain from getting involved at all is to sometimes be described as "Don't feed the trolls." One crucial ethical aspect of dealing with trolls online is to ignore them. This concept, known as "don't feed the trolls," is based on the idea that trolls seek attention and confrontation. By ignoring them, it is believed that trolls will lose interest and abandon their disruptive behavior.

Nevertheless, ignoring trolls is not always a foolproof strategy. Some argue that trolls can escalate their inappropriate responses seeking further attention. In such cases, site moderation by administrators may be warranted. Many online platforms feature systems that can help identify and manage abusive behavior, and monitoring of trolls is essential to maintain an enjoyable online environment. Online spaces are often rife with terms concerning disruption and moderation, and addressing trolls can prevent further escalation of their disruptive actions.

Origins and Etymology Numerous accounts speculate about the origins and early uses of the term "troll" as it first emerged in internet language, revealing many references in forums like BBS and Usenet in the early 1980s or earlier.

The English term "troll," when viewed through the lens of its negative connotation, often involves unwelcome, sowing discord or unrest, which emerged from the Old Norse word "troll," meaning Giant or demon. This term encapsulates Scandinavian folklore and fairy tales: creatures outside of society, causing chaos and sometimes terrorizing travelers, reflecting aspects of existential fear. Trolls have long existed in cultural narratives, and online trolling has been present since the early days of the internet.

In the context of English usage, "trolling" can project a type of artful deception systematically enticing a reaction—a sort of lure or bait to induce responses. The use of the non-internet words "trolling" often equated with warfare: in 1972, "trolling for MiGs" applied to the actions of U.S. Navy decoys to deceive Vietnamese fighter pilots. The verb trolled emerged around the 1980s on the internet, but the earliest recorded use in the Oxford English Dictionary dates back to 1992.

The general definition detailed in the Oxford English Dictionary points to the Usenet origins of the early 1990s, as demonstrated by phrases like "trolling for newbies" seen on alt.folklore.urban (AFU). Generally, the approach often involves a deliberate effort using an anonymous pseudonym aimed at eliciting strange questions or responses from newcomers. For example, an anonymous user might post a story about a peculiar cultural belief to provoke discussion days later. Veteran readers would recognize the recurring topic, while new members would be unaware, thus generating diverse responses. Different types of trolls are indicative of a collective effort to understand dark digital behaviors, indicating a level of sophistication among troll users. One of the most famous AFU trollers, David Mikkelson, ventured into establishing the fact-checking website Snopes.com.

By the 1990s, alt.folklore.urban witnessed an influx of both intentional misinformation and participation, leading to a diversification in trolling tactics. Some sought to mislead explicitly, departing from the original playful spirit, while others embraced "flame-warring," engaging in heated arguments exclusively for entertainment purposes.
