Yeah, people just use "troll" for anything these days.  Yesterday I saw a comment that was clearly joking and someone responded that the commenter was "clearly trolling".

Can’t it be both? Its goal here was to frustrate and provoke. That’s trolling. It’s also satire because it is amusing for those who it doesn’t frustrate.

Satire is categorically not trolling. They are two distinct and separate things. One is overt one is covert.
