Past tense of falling for trolling—acknowledging that one was manipulated by a troll. The phrase carries recognition of deception: you thought you were engaging in genuine discussion; actually, you were performing for someone's entertainment. Fell for the trolling means you were played.
Fell for the Trolling "He scrolled back through the thread and saw it: every response he'd made, feeding a troll who never believed what they posted. 'I fell for the trolling,' he realized. His genuine engagement had been someone else's game. He'd been the entertainment."
