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)
That pic was, and still is, fucking hilarious. I won’t apologize. :D
Fair :)
I was mostly just demonstrating that Boosts become part of your profile and thus a much more public endorsement. I should however probably have picked on kaseijin to show this, not as the person who replied.
