Troll vs Hater?
Trolls are provocateurs: they provoke others, especially newcomers, with outlandish statements that may be insincere. They are often in it for the “lolz” or laughs.
Haters are hostile: they attack others, often by seizing upon something likely to cause distress (e.g., gender, ethnicity, sexuality, and appearance). They intend to harm and belittle others.
