Trolling is intentionally saying shit to get a rise out of people.
Going into a general gaming community and saying “Fortnite sucks ass” isn’t, necessarily, trolling.
Going into a Fortnite community to say the same thing is trolling.
And note: Just because it pissed you off doesn’t make it trolling. A person saying something you do not personally like or agree with isn’t trolling, but this seems to be how a ton of Lemmings define it.
The only kind of trolling I am cool with is when fishing.
Oh shoot I just realized that trolling is named after fishing trolling (dragging large amounts of bait behind you) and not the troll under the bridge.
kinda both, honestly
we were calling them trolls back in the forum days because they were ugly individuals who loved to jump out of nowhere and yell at you
Yeah I suppose both. But I never realized the second meaning.
Isn’t that worked trawling?
I don’t know, I’m definitely no fisherman. Just reading the Wikipedia page for the word origin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolling#Origin_and_etymology
This is the relevant quote for anyone interested
I started reading about this wiki articleas a fishing metaphor, for a specific type of trolling technique. I discovered way to late that it is not. Learned some new things though.

Yeah that all seems reasonable
