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.

Nazi: When somebody on lemmy says this, they aren't talking about literal jackboot historical underlings of Adolf Hitler, but instead referring to anyone who isn't firmly on the progressive side of the political aisle.

Tankie: I'm still trying to figure this one out. Apparently it's not referring to tank roles in online games. It supposed to be insulting, despite sounding very laudatory.

Mostly people who get called nazis are saying fascist stuff. So while the term nazi isn't correct it is meant as an insult to their ideolegy by drawing a line to past fascists.
