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 their 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’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.
