I've run across these terms several times, but without enough context to figure out what they mean. Could someone help me out, please?

ETA All of you are amazing! A huge thank you to everyone who responded, and an extra thank you to those who have provided links or explanations to further and/or related information. I am learning so much by reading all of these comments!

    Thank you, that really explains it! I was afraid that I may come across as sea-lioning sometimes because I tend to ask lots of questions, but the comic makes it more clear what sea-lioning is.

    It boils down to whether you argue in good faith. Even better, if you discuss in good faith. Asking a lot of questions that comes from a desire to learn or from curiosity usually lands differently then the disingenuous questioning of someone like a tankie

    I can't seem to open the link, it just says "There's nothing here" I'm not sure if it's my Lemmy client or if it's just gone, but does anybody have a mirror?

    That's weird, here's just the link without any formatting. Try this: https://wondermark.com/c/1k62/

    I think jerboa (and maybe other lemmy UIs) is interpreting that as a link to a community and trying to open !1k62@wondermark.com
