Karma doesnt exist. So when you don't agree with a user, insult their instance and launch a campaign to defederate from it.
What's that called?
A reasonable and measured response
Who tf says lemming
Do you have a better alternative, you lemming?
Lemminary

I'm a lemmonaut
At a lemonparty?
I haven't seen lemming in like a year when reddit users (including me) were moving over and some people apparently needed a replacement for redditor.
I don't remember ever seeing defed in place of defederate or comm in place of community, but maybe I just missed out on that.
Not really terminology, but I would recommend trying to engage in good faith when discussing more complex issues on Lemmy. Keep your eyes peeled for trolls who are not open minded and block them once they show they're unreceptive to civil discussion. Since the userbase is rather small, it works extremely well and makes your experience so much better.
I actually read something about this today! Funny.
I just read about the Baader-Meinhoff phenomenon
I saw them in concert, their live sets beat the studio albums.
I'd like to add to their comment. A lot of people are coming from very argumentative or abrasive communities, and sometimes their initial messaging will show that. If someone comes off way too hot headed try not to assume that they're going to end up being a troll. They might just be riled up. I've had pretty good success in asking clarifying questions to get people to explain their view rather than just come in swinging.
Or honestly, just block them and save yourself the pain of dealing with them in the future the next time they're riled up.
I don't hold it against them but why listen to the noise if you can just get signal?
Let's just say you did a good job picking world as your instance
People need buzzwords to feel like they belong to a group. We are just a bunch of nerds who already know that. It's a free spirit community as long as you behave like a human. You can try to establish some new terminology, but don't come up with the old reddit stuff, people will make fun of you.
I proposed we say cheers or just 🍻 instead of cake day for activitypub- i like to think of everyone just popping into a pub and chatting about stuff.

That is so fetch!
Omg, you can't just ask people why they're white.
That shit is dingo!
That slang is so streets behind.
You subscribe to communities, which are hosted on different servers. Upvotes and downvotes are what they are. AFAIK there is no karma counting here.
Some apps/front ends/instances track upvote/downvote totals. Haven't run into any automated filters based on total karma yet, though.
Also worth mentioning that instance admins and some moderators can see specific users' upvotes and downvotes.
There's also a public mod log where instances display their moderator actions taken against whom for what reasons. Doesn't quite stop moderator abuse but it makes it public.
Any kbin user can see everyone who upvoted something. They used to be able to see all of the downvotes as well, but that was disabled with most kbin instances...
As far as I know, all you need to do is find a kbin instance that allows their users to see both upvotes and downvotes (or set up an instance yourself).
It's best to treat your votes here as public if you're coming from Reddit where you normally expect this to be hidden.
Karma got removed a few versions ago
Lemmy once computed a total score internally, but this was removed in the later versions. There is no such thing as overall user karma or score unless an admin or other software decides to try to compute one. The platform itself doesn’t care.
Here are some examples of "other software" that does compute this.
Mbin still reports the raw reputation score, e.g. https://fedia.io/u/@henfredemars@infosec.pub
Piefed instead reports an attitude percentage, e.g. https://piefed.social/u/henfredemars@infosec.pub
Both do so without requiring an account.

What is not mentioned is, deleting anything does not mean it will be deleted everywhere. Hundreds of other instances receive your content and who knows whether the delete action will be correctly federated, processed or accepted. Check twice before submitting.
On the topic, if you send a comment just assume it went through even if an app tries to pretend it didn't. There are a lot of double comments from this fake error
That pretty much is the app's fault. I encountered that with some third party apps. Jerboa has never done that.
most everything you do in the fediverse is very public. upvotes and sometimes downvotes can be attributed to you personally. luckily that includes the moderation logs.
lemmy is only one of many fediverse server types. there are many: https://fedidb.org/ im partial to mbin because it looks more like that other place, and exposes more information like a reputation value (karma) and downvotes
Karma exists but unless I'm off we don't seem to really mention it ever. Theres up and downvotes but I just like them as a way of letting me know how far out my ideas or comments are without taking it personally. It improves your thinking and advocacy skills so its cool
beans, opossums, gul dukat bad, ummm, lemmings?
