On every thread or post, if you click on more and activity, you’ll get the info.

I personally find this to be a good things, I’ve seen people using downvote way too easily. I like the idea that we need to be somehow accountable for those mechanism.

edit: It could be somehow improved to have an option to let this info only available between concerned users.

edit edit: I think that up/downvote info shouldn’t be public, but kept private between the users involved. we need to address this privacy issue.

    in kbin, boosts and upvotes are like boosts and favorites in mastodon/calckey. but in here, boosts also ranking up the thread in the top category.

    the reputation point is broken tho, because the mechanism behind boost and upvote have been modified/switched a few days ago, but the reputation point code not updated yet.

      New to kbin and don’t use Mastodon yet. If a boost is a super-upvote, why wouldn’t you boost everything when you voted it up?

      Edit: found the FAQ: boosts are sent to followers in timeline/feed.

        boosts are like retweet. it improves the visibility of a thread. it’s like sharing it with all your followers + promoting it to the top category.

        I boost content that I want to be seen. I upvote content as a kind gesture for the author. I downvote content that is really not appropriate but just not enough to be reported.
