If I recall reading correctly, downvotes affect karma, but upvotes don’t.
In case kbin introduces some kind of gamification rewarding system, isn’t that counterintuitive, esoecially since both buttons are equally positioned?

Then why do we have upvotes?
Kbin is under development… Why is the boost being used instead of upvote? I have no idea, but I do suspect a series of events definitely occurred for ernest to end up here. Will it change in the future, who am I to say?
I feel it’s mainly because of the desire to integrate with Mastodon as well.
