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.
From what I understand, currently it works like this: boost = +1, downvote = -1, and upvotes do not feed into reputation.
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
