Trolls
There are largely 2 types of trolls in the Daniel Larson community. Successful trolls, and Weens (a term borrowed from the CWC community)
Successful Trolls
Successful trolls of Daniel tend to take a more long-term approach. The build-up to a successful trolling of Dan often takes weeks, if not months, of preparation. The below are examples of trolls who have successfully manipulated Dan long term.

FlexBurger
In early 2021, FlexBurger began their operation posing as a manager for Daniel under the name of "Josh". In the beginning, things were good, as Josh got Daniel to comply with many crazy requests, including posing nude during the May 6th incident. Through working with Daniel, however, FlexBurger discovered that he was harboring a dark secret: his attraction to underage girls. FlexBurger shifted their focus to exposing Daniel, posing as an underage child and soliciting lewd messages and pornographic images. In May 2021, FlexBurger uploaded a video (see attached) that exposed Daniel as the sick pedo that he is, showing his search history and camera roll.
Daniel was not happy about this development, and told his care providers to call the police as a result of him being "hacked". Daniel later responded by putting his community on lockdown, denouncing FlexBurger and saying everything was faked, and eventually declaring war on all Hackers. Eventually, FlexBurger ceased all operations as a result of being "exposed" by the Youtuber PapaGut. At the time, FlexBurger was largely denounced by the Larsonian community, but has seen more positive reception as of late due to him being one of the first people to expose Daniel's truly insidious nature.

Weens
Weens tend to act more on impulse. While a ween might be able to get Dan to do something, or troll him, for a moment - They're ultimately short lived, misguided, and often very unfunny.
DLR discord
WARNING: HOT TOPIC! BEFORE EDITING, PLEASE CHECK OUT THE DISCUSSION PAGE.
Created in the aftermath of the original DLR discord ran by Jix a new discord is created. The new DLR discord immediately begin trying to troll Dan having one of their insiders pretend to be Grace and have a nude video supposedly created. This video, if real, ultimately does not become widespread as of the writing of this (1/18/23). Pure conjecture, it's possible that Dan didn't actually create the video at all and was simply trying to manipulate the two trolls into playing along with his strange sexual fantasies.
The DLR discord then spends the next day attempting to get Dan in there. They reach out to him via his old discord (and are ignored as he's deleted discord), email (and are presumably ignored), stream (and are ignored); Ultimately, they never get Dan into the discord and begin claiming that getting Dan in there was never the purpose of it in the first place. They delete their discord stage and then begin a collaborative process of finding Dan's location wherever he goes.
Throughout the entire existence of this discord, the chat is incredibly toxic. People are making fun of the owners of this discord, maligning their attempts to get Dan into there - this is what leads to their pivot to claiming that they never wanted Dan in there. The discord started as a place where you generally couldn't get banned (outside of spreading doxes which was common at this time). However, as the criticism laid on the DLR discord owners they began banning more and more people finishing with a blanket ban of anyone in the Daniel Larson Live (Ox's) discord.
The Dan-tracking lasts for a night or two where they try to call every business he ends up at to let them know the general notes about Dan and attempt to get him kicked out. They're arguably successful at this and cause Dan to become frustrated as he's unable to stay at any one place for an extended period of time (Although, this is fairly common for Dan). The Dan tracking finally ends once Dan starts hanging out at Downtown Disney.
By coincidence, one of the mods of the DLR discord happened to have 2 friends who were at Disney on 1/17/23. These 2 are asked to supply the DLR Discord with photos to which they comply (Without expressing the risk involved with involving yourself in a community like this one, or the implications of what they were actually supporting), a ticket was purchased for Dan, and the DLR discord proceeded to claim responsibility for it. To be explicit (if reports are to be believed) The two in the below image were not intending to troll Dan. Rather, they pitied him and bought him the tickets. It was only later that the DLR discord attempted to frame this as a trolling attempt.
The subreddit's reaction to these two buying Dan a ticket to Disney is overwhelmingly negative. Accusations fly of enabling pedophiles, excusing pedophiles, and in general being nice to pedophiles as well as spreading scabies - Real negative stuff! The Reddit community quickly turns against this new discord.
The very next day multiple of the discord's admins - specifically known, President Zelensky (seen in above picture) are doxed. It doesn't seem like the leaders of this discord were prepared for this eventuality and immediately begin freaking out. Threats of mother calling are flung and by 4:00 PM CST the DLR discord is gone. A victim to the cycle of trolling and doxing in the DLR community.
