Another type of troll I experienced today was the DARVO troll, which has a lot of overlap with Sea-Lioning. Darvo stands for: "Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender." While the point of sealioning is to drain your energy, what makes DARVO different is the goal is to flip the script to make you the bad guy for having a boundary.

When you set a boundary like "I do not want to debate this," continuing to reply is a form of trolling.

There is a wikipedia page for this one too:

To illustrate the behavior I just dealt with, this image accurately depicts DARVO (I couldn't put it in the post with the quote).

@terminaltilt

We saw that tactic used against Veronica Explains on fedi yesterday :/

Good to know the term DARVO.

@rl_dane

You know whats funny? I was calling out that exact behavior with Veronica with that "call to action" post I made about "taking out the trash." That very thread invited trolls and that is where I experienced the DARVO. Luckily, I have been informed and witnessed on my own instance that the trash is being taken out.

@terminaltilt

Just thinking out loud...

$ echo "Davros" |tr a-z A-Z |tr -d R

$ echo "Davros" |tr a-z A-Z |tr -d S |sed 's/VR/RV/'

Hmmm... 🤔
