I know the obvious things like federation and fediverse, but do we say upvote/downvote, updoot, karma? I hate to bring up the software that must not be named, but I don’t know what else to call things.

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.
