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.
-6 wrt ego hits was funny. Go check out mine.
Yikes you're at -51 !
Yeah I annoyed some shitlibs defending lemmy.ml and I can’t even create an account or read most posts there. I basically said we Americans are as propagandized probably as much as Red-leaning countries’ citizens.
Maybe don't call them shitlibs?
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?
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
