Driving off someone from being online, as a troll, because it gives you a thrill.
This is an awfully specific flex, but it is a flex nonetheless, that people do feel to boast about. Because it’s just another form of a power-trip. Congratulations, you’ve driven away someone who could’ve been a contributory member of a community to make yourself feel better by orchestrating lies, performing witch hunts and huddling with your troll buddies in ways to figure out how to process this.
There’s nothing prideful about this to flex over.


Pretending you don’t know how to use a computer or a smartphone nowadays. It’s not the 70s/80s/90s anymore, you look stupid. Same with books as if they were boring devices for nerds.
Wait, why would someone pretend to not know how to use a PC?
Even my grandmother knows how to use a smartphone and iPad and she’s in her 80s
My mother does not. She uses it everyday, but struggles with everything and jabs at the screen like it will bite her.
Or they got an iPhone 10 years ago but still treat it like they’re an early adopter.
