Kbin has a total reputation score, but it’s broken and pretty much meaningless. Downvotes will subtract reputation, but upvotes don’t add to it, only “boosts” do. While I had perpetually negative reputation from that, I didn’t mind, but as soon as it went positive from a single highly-boosted comment, I immediately started dropping back into old mentalities.

Guess switching over to Lemmy to use Boost might not have been such a bad thing.
