If I recall reading correctly, downvotes affect karma, but upvotes don’t.

In case kbin introduces some kind of gamification rewarding system, isn’t that counterintuitive, esoecially since both buttons are equally positioned?

        Boosting is essentially retweeting. On Kbin that means it appears as a toot in your microblog. If you have people following you, boosting your post so they see it makes sense. In Reddit terms, it’s like one-click crossposting to your profile/personal user subreddit.
