Ernest just posted some comments clarifying recent changes to Votes, Boosts, Favorites, and Reputation Points:

  • Upvotes & Downvotes function akin to Reddit
  • Boosts count as two Upvotes (link)
  • Favorites are added to https://kbin.social/fav if you Upvote (link)
  • Reputation Points have been updated

In addition to that, Ernest stated that “there is no connection between reputation points and sorting algorithms. It’s just info in the profile” (link)

    You can either vote 3 times or 1 time for something, which are you picking? Its not flippant, its how its designed right now.

      …or 2, or -1. But if you boost it becomes part of your profile. It is broadcast to everybody who follows you. It can be seen on your profile indefinitely (…you’ve boosted some weird stuff!)
