Why does downvoting something make it show up as if I boosted it? (kbin.social)

It seems very silly that me downvoting something makes it show up on my profile page under "boosts", makes it look like I liked the post and boosted it when in reality I downvoted it.

Feels weird that what I vote on is public at all.

It really is weird... I don't really want my depravity public knowledge. I'm hesitant on what I upvote/downvote just because someone may at some point be able to see and use that information.

Weird thing is that it seems to only be downvotes that act as boosts, not upvotes.
