How does reputation work on KBin? (kbin.social)

I'm a little confused about how the upvote/downvote system works as related to your reputation on KBin. Can someone explain?

Yes, but you can boost your own comments to counteract the downvotes. The whole system is sketchy at best and shouldn't be relied on to determine anything about a user.

OH NO! My fake internet points don't have VALUE?!

That's just silly.

You shouldn't be able to give yourself points.

I mean, in Reddit all your posts and comments are auto-upvoted.

Or it should default to always self boosting (similar to reddit)

If you click on "more" you can also see everyone who up/downvoted and boosted a comment/post. So seeing that you upvoted/boosted yourself might be frowned upon by some. But who cares
