I haven't used Reddit for years, and I have no idea about those terms. If they're a Reddit thing, I don't recognise them.

Lemmy is also less tolerant of debate bros.

Been seeing whoosh creep in here and I downvote where I see it. It's not funny, it's just annoying

Wooosh isn't a reddit thing though. I used to see it regularly way back in the slashdot days.
