Twit

Twit
„Don't feed trolls!“ - in einigen Foren und im Usenet werden solche Warnungen verbreitet.

In einem Internet-Medium wird ein Autor als Troll bezeichnet, dessen Beitrag nicht zu dem Thema beiträgt, sondern der vor allem das Ziel hat, weitere Reaktionen hervorzurufen, ohne am eigentlichen Thema interessiert zu sein. Die Beiträge selbst werden meist als Troll, Trollbeitrag, Troll-Post, Troll-Posting oder Flamebait bezeichnet.
