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.

Flexing with messaging apps (especially with iMessage or Whatsapp).

    Not sure I understand, how does someone flex about an app?

    Some people flex with products from giant American companies. Specifically for apps: if their messages are sent in green bubble, some (not all) people will ask arrogantly ask: When you will get an iPhone? Android is for cheap/poor people/kids. Or if you tell them they can find you also on Signal too: When you will get Whatsapp? Signal is for losers/people with no (social) life. I am glad that I don't use any those 2 apps.

    It is interesting how different ppl think depending on groups (and age). Iphone by the ppl I know (25-65) is either forced on you at work or you are tech illiterate and do not care (some even pick it because of the esthetic). What you wrote throws me back to 2010-2014 haha

    All the smart ppl I know do not understand iphones which is even funnier when it are supposed to be the easy to understand option. Nowadays do I mostly see only older ladies and some random ppl with iphone, most got Samsung or pixel.
