Is the reputation points like Karma on Reddit?
#AskKbin
Yes, each post and comment has a "rating" that's used for thread ranking. It's about the same:
(2x boosts) + upvotes - downvotes, with no vote fuzzing
Boosts are only on kbin, though
@Nemo Boosts actually federate across the other microblogging platforms also, so if you boost a kbin post from Mastodon it's reflected on the post and in your score on kbin.
@SamXavia
Indeed. Boosted this comment.
@Nemo Thank you, Still learning the system but I actually enjoy it more than I originally thought.
