        No clue why you’d think that was trolling? I’d never heard of that either.

        Thanks for explaining that it it stands for “Kill My Self”.

          a lot of trolls will ask what it means trying to bait someone into saying “kill yourself” or similar so they can edit their comment to make it look like they were a depressed person asking for help instead of asking what “kys” or “kms” means, so they can get random people banned. for example:

          op: what does “kys” mean?
          reply: kill yourself

          op edits first comment->

          op: guys I just came out as trans to my parents and they kicked me out what do I do?
          reply: kill yourself
