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)
Boosts don’t count as 2 upvotes, just as two reputation points on your profile page, reputation doesn’t do anything.

Yes it does. That’s literally what Ernest said and I even linked his statement on that in the post. It would behoove you to read it.
