      This is from the various services trying to talk to each other in ways they weren’t originally designed to do, really. Our “upvote” is a mastodon “favorite” (like) while our “boost” is functionally a retweet/reblog. Kbin tries to bridge the gap between threaded content and microblogging, and it gets about 90% of the way there; all it really needs to do is change it so that upvotes are the ones that contribute to reputation instead of boosts, which are functionally useless outside a fully microblog-style environment.

      It is currently broken which is why it functions in such a terrible way. A fix has been made, but not yet pushed to live. Hold tight :)

      There’s definitely room for improvement, but I like what I see so far and don’t have a problem learning a new paradigm. I’m sure that as the platform matures things will become more consistent.

      From what I can see the upvote / downvote both work as you’d expect now (as in upvoting curates content). There was apparently a period of time where ‘boost’ was the upvote mechanic but that’s been changed

      I’ve read it’s a work in progress and may be changed at some point to be consistent across the Fediverse. Poor guy is slammed with feature requests and bug reports with Kbin.
