Psyche presents a framework for understanding modern trolling, distinguishing between attention-seeking trolls and those motivated by destruction, influence damage, and control.
Upon a time, trolls wanted attention.
Today, some want destruction. The
internet changed. Most people never
noticed. This is not a guide about hurt
feelings. This is a survival
guide for the modern digital
battlefield. The old troll wanted
a reaction. The new troll may
seek influence, reputation damage,
harassment
sometimes even criminal outcomes. Not
every troll is dangerous,
but dangerous people often hide behind
the language of trolling. Most attacks
are not about what they appear to
be about. The topic is rarely
the target. The reaction is. The
objective is often control, control of
attention, control of emotion, control
of narrative. Not all trolls are equal.
Understanding the difference changes
everything.
