Some of these terms are listed as if HN created them (they did not). Reddit existed years prior to HN, and upvoting/downvoting started there, if not earlier. "Karma" meanwhile goes much farther back, used on GameFAQs in the late 90s.

>Reddit existed years prior to HN, and upvoting/downvoting started there, if not earlier. Slashdot had upvoting and downvoting about a decade before Reddit launched.
