I kinda hope @ernest resets all the rep to zero to undo the negative million reputation I've earned by telling tankies in lemmy to go fuck themselves.

you have over 1k rep now so I am guessing it is fixed.
It feels a little weird to me that we can manually upvote our own comments and posts on kbin.
Reddit would automatically set them at +1 because it’s implied that the author would want to upvote their own contributions, and it’s one less hassle if it’s done automatically.
Alternatively, new posts and comments can start at 0, but then I feel like authors should not be able to upvote their own contributions.
Wait...we are supposed to upvote our own comment? Thanks for the info, I was confused on that one and thought it was a glitch.
Oh, baby, I don't even know where to start spending all these!
Might I interest you in one of my favorites?
It seems like they applied this retroactively as well. I remember my account (this one, from lemmy.world) having four reputation points, and I barely had any activity yesterday. It's now over 900.
Not that I really get to see it unless I really seek it out.
We'll I have a bunch now, so it's fixed as far as I can tell. It'd be nice to just have it hidden though tbh, or we'll just get the same karma farming garbage over here that we had on Reddit.
My personal opinion, of course.
Yes, if there is one lesson we should have learned from Reddit it's that internet points aren't great for fostering real discussion and debate.
Still, with so many new link aggregation platforms appearing to fill the Reddit void, hopefully we still end up with something better.
I was kinda hoping the whole "Reputation" thing could just be deleted so we don't get the karmawhoring problem that plagued Reddit, but now, I guess I can actually upvote someone more than once, so that's a thing!
🥳 nice one @ernest
What does this mean for boost now?
Hey, boost == 2*upvote. Simple as that ;)
Does this count only for personal account reputation scores, or does this also count toward any sorting algos on the platform?
No, there is no connection between reputation points and sorting algorithms. It's just info in the profile.
Cool 👍 Also what happened to “favourites”, I can no longer see upvoted (saved) posts?
fav == upvote (/fav)
boost == boosts (/u/pizzadreams/boosts)
