Can someone explain to me how kbins reputation system works?
Because currently, it seems like the only thing it's recording are downvotes. Meanwhile upvotes are completely ignored, leading to pretty much every profile I see having a negative reputation.
Also, I have a very fragile ego and my -6 reputation hurts a bit.

And a boost is... what exactly? I feel like that system is going to lead to pretty much everyone being close to 0 or negative. Especially if downvotes federate between instances, as I don't believe boost is even an option for lemmy instances is it?
@TooL
Upvote = I like this thread/post
Boost = everyone following me, here is a thing I think you should see
-ish. That's my understanding at the moment anyway
@skepickle
@JollyRoberts So it's the equivalent of a retweet

I guess I didn't know there was a following mechanism here. Good to know, thanks.
I don't know, I will boost your comment and see what happens... I hope it doesn't open a webcam discussion where we see each others, that would be awkward.
Edit: what is this madness? I see a +1 but with no way to remove it! It's forever. Be cautious!
The funniest part is my reputation actually went down to -7 now so.. I have no idea if boosting it even did anything.
Clicking on "boost" again should remove the boost. At least that works for me.
Liar! I did it and now he has 2 boosts!
