Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment
[edit]
This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 10 January 2022 and 4 May 2022. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Goldie18 (article contribs).
Another use of T.R.O.L.L.
[edit]Does the information in another Wikipedia article fit anywhere in this article?
"In an attempt to demonstrate the perils of over-reliance on the internet as authority, the Mikkelsons assembled a series of fabricated urban folklore tales that they term "The Repository of Lost Legends".[1] The name was chosen for its acronym, T.R.O.L.L., a reference to the early 1990s definition of the word troll, meaning an Internet prank, of which David Mikkelson was a prominent practitioner.[2]" -- ~~

The definition is out of date
[edit]I do not think that definition is 2026, trolling is way more complex than that. Trolling is not always negative; it is also a form of resistance and satire, especially when those resisting are weaker and use trolling to offset the power imbalance.
