Doppelflagger

Definition:
An anonymous online user who deliberately accuses their own posts or identities of belonging to someone else, typically to create confusion, manipulate perception, or provoke reactions within a discussion. The doppelflagger engages in intentional false-flagging behavior, often simulating paranoia or conflict to disrupt discourse or discredit others.

Etymology:
From Doppelgänger (a duplicate or double, often associated with deception) + flagger (one who reports or disavows content).
Usage:

The thread’s a mess—some doppelflagger is playing both sides.”

“Classic doppelflagger move: start a fake argument with yourself, then blame someone else.”
