It's all about intent, not about how you did something or what.
>you just join a meeting that someone posted openly on reddit, inviting others to troll?
If you joined the meeting with the full knowledge and intention of trolling yes, that falls under statute. What that other person did doesn't really matter in your prosecution, he might be prosecuted as an accessory to your crime, but his actions don't provide you enough defensive cover.
What you're stating is like a gun murderer saying "I only pulled a lever, which billions of people do every day".
If someone posted a deep URL to a hospital oxygen system inviting reddit to troll, and you go there with the knowledge and intention to troll, and press the off switch and kill a bunch of people, you're going to be prosecuted for their deaths. "I just clicked a button lol" isn't a good defense and will probably just make the judge and jury think even worse of you. Same with typing /../, you're trying to access hidden and potentially protected sensitive information. It's like trying the handles of the cars parked on the road.
