Can someone explain to me how kbins reputation system works? (kbin.social)

Because currently, it seems like the only thing it's recording are downvotes. Meanwhile upvotes are completely ignored, leading to pretty much every profile I see having a negative reputation.

Also, I have a very fragile ego and my -6 reputation hurts a bit.

Also, you can microblog with your kbin account, so boosting with it actually does something.

So, "boosting" a microblog/post (tweet) will "repost" it into your timeline (so your followers see it)? But what about for threads/comments? Is there any functionality at all for boosting it except to give the user reputation?

As far as I understand it, if you boost a comment, it will also appear in your timeline.
