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.

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.
