Get the photo trollmug. A sleeper troll is one who has infiltrated into the target online community and 'gone to sleep', sometimes for many months even years.
Often times the sleeper troll may appear to be in general agreement and in group solidarity of belief or sentiment with the targeted online community.
It is usually only after the targeted online community has suffered some form of set back or upset that the sleeper troll shows it's true idenity as a troll pouncing on the opportunity with the intent of provoking other users into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.
Troll operatives can be used in varied forms. Hidding behind internet pseudonyms, a troll could be someone employed by political operatives, attorneys in civil letigations, civil rights cases, workers compensation cases, social security case, etc.
A common practice of the troll is the 'gaslighting' technigue:
Gaslighting is a form of intimidation or psychological abuse in which false information is presented to the victim, making them doubt their own memory and perception.

Get the trollmug. Skanky Asian chicks that take advantage of guys with no self esteem but have enough money to pay for their expenses while banging someone else. Trolls will often have a drug and/or alcohol problem and look for victims that have a stocked bar or will supply them with drugs. They tell their victims they love them to get them to do what they want.
That chick has three guys on the hook paying her rent, phone and food but she's doing a guy she met at a bar. What a troll.

Get the trollmug. Trolling ironically. Commenting and responding to certain content in a positive, friendly manner as if to sound like a grandma supporting her grandchildren on social media. The process is best accomplished when a level of uncertainty or discomfort is achieved such as interacting with someone you haven’t spoken with in a while or a good friend who you’re particularly sarcastic with.
My influencer friend asked “how do you find motivation to get through a hard day?” and I responded “Anything involving whipped cream!” as a form of anti-trolling.
