hater
A person who systematically writes negative, insulting, or hateful comments about other people or things online, especially on social networks.
Der YouTuber liest die Kommentare unter seinen Videos nicht mehr, weil es zu viele Hater gibt.
The YouTuber no longer reads the comments under his videos because there are too many haters.
The word 'Hater' is a direct import from English and is used mainly in youth language and in the context of the internet and social media. It is rather colloquial.
Viele Influencer müssen lernen, mit Hatern umzugehen.
Many influencers have to learn how to deal with haters.
Alongside the noun 'Hater', the verb 'haten' (to hate, to trash-talk) and the noun 'der Hate' (hate online) have also become established in German.
Es ist sinnlos, auf diesen Hate zu reagieren.
There is no point in reacting to this hate.
'Hater' is often used in combination with other words, for example 'Hater-Kommentar' (hater comment), 'Hater-Nachricht' (hater message), or in the phrase 'Hass von Hatern' (hate from haters).
Sie hat schon wieder einen gemeinen Hater-Kommentar bekommen.
She has received another mean hater comment.
troll
Both words refer to people who write negative or insulting comments online. A „Troll“ is particularly intent on starting arguments and provoking reactions. A „Hater“ directs systematic hatred or strong disapproval at people or things; the intention to provoke does not necessarily take center stage.
Der Hater schrieb unter jedes Foto der Sängerin beleidigende Kommentare.
The hater wrote insulting comments under every photo of the singer.
Der Troll schrieb absichtlich eine provozierende Antwort, damit die anderen Nutzer stritten.
The troll deliberately wrote a provocative reply so that the other users would argue.
