Trolling – (verb), as it relates to internet, is the deliberate act, (by a Troll – noun or adjective), of making random unsolicited and/or controversial comments on various internet forums with the intent to provoke an emotional knee jerk reaction from unsuspecting readers to engage in a fight or argumentTrolling on-line forums as described above is actually analogous to the fishing technique of “trolling”, where colorful baits and lures are pulled behind a slow moving boat, often with multiple fishing lines, covering a large bodies of water, such as a large lake or the ocean. The trolling lures attract unsuspecting fish, intriguing them with the way they move through the water, thus enticing these foolish fish to “take the bait”. Not unlike unsuspecting internet victims, once hooked, the fish are reeled in for the catch before they realize they have been duped by the Troll/Fisherman

"by contrast ilx’s trolls come across as unhappy and cowardly"
this is otm imo. do think ilx was always a better fit for socks than for trolling.
i don't think the meaning changed; ilx changed.

possibly, aside from differences in how we might individually define the terms, the intent or effect of socks v trolls comes across differently to each of us also
never had any time for socks meself, fundamentally malicious and corrosive practice
combined, changes again.

I agree that sarahell's 'piece of shit' post quoted upthread was deft snark and not trolling fwiw
― nashwan, Wednesday, 14 August 2019 10:22 (four years ago) link
i disagree snark, imo the intent there is to make a dumb situational joke and not to undercut anybody.
but that said: attempts at humour come somewhat under each of tyranny of humour, multivalenced language and troll headings discussed elsewhere, and each of us experiences the taste of chilli powder differently
which brings us back to thread intent, if a thread can be said to have an intent (it can i started it)
