Ernest just posted some comments clarifying recent changes to Votes, Boosts, Favorites, and Reputation Points:

Upvotes & Downvotes function akin to Reddit
Boosts count as two Upvotes (link)
Favorites are added to https://kbin.social/fav if you Upvote (link)
Reputation Points have been updated

In addition to that, Ernest stated that "there is no connection between reputation points and sorting algorithms. It's just info in the profile" (link)

I like the changes that have been made so far. It's neat having a positive reputation score for once. 😅

Does boosting cost anything? What's to prevent people from just boosting instead of upvoting?

Now if only you had the option to hide boosts.
