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.

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
Created in the aftermath of the original DLR discord ran by Rick Yorn (Jix) a new discord is created. The new DLR discord is a cesspit of teenage and early twenties morons, they 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.
The dumb discord troll's plan immediately pivoted - "What if we could troll Dan at Disney?!" they thought. Their smooth brains began to wriggle around producing the genius trolling plan of, on 01/17/23, going to Disney Land, buying Dan a ticket, and hanging out with him for a while.
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 - Real negative stuff! The community quickly turns against this new discord and its on-average younger population.
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.
