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.

    Currently :

    • “Boost” adds reputation. It’s a kind of retweet.

    • “Downvote” removes reputation

    • “Upvote” does nothing. (edit : for reputation)

    This is because previously the upvote was boost, they were switched around to be similar to other fediverse systems.

    Dev mentioned in another thread that the reputation system should be changed to have up/down count instead of boost/down. But they have a lot to do right now so it might not be the most pressing issue…

      Ah, okay that does make a lot of sense. Poor ernest must be getting swarmed by idiots like me asking for QOL changes. Thanks for the info.

    It’s like talking to the police: the more you talk, the more you incriminate yourself. Never talk to the police.

    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?
