If I recall reading correctly, downvotes affect karma, but upvotes don’t.
In case kbin introduces some kind of gamification rewarding system, isn’t that counterintuitive, esoecially since both buttons are equally positioned?

Technically, it’s supposed to be upvotes-downvotes, but boost and upvote used to be the same thing. The boost function is the older of the two, so when they got split, the new thing became upvotes, but the reputation system wasn’t updated. That’s what I understood from other comments elsewhere anyway.
