PSA: while upvoting exists, to get the "move closer to the top" effect that reddit's upvote had, you need to click boost (kbin.social)

But also keep in mind, anyone can look at your profile and see what you have boosted.

So there's a privacy issue with boosting threads/comments.

For example, https://kbin.social/u/tryplot/boosts

I can see you boosted a thread about Biden and Assisted Deaths

everyone can see your likes too! it’s important to how activitypub works for all that to be public

tap more, activity to see the likes on pretty much anything on kbin

Where votes are labeled “favourites” :)

In a way I like that this is all openly public vs just the devs and admins being able to see it. Either way somebody was going to pay attention but now it’s obvious to users.

Boosting is like retweeting, it doesn't make sense for it to be private.

Just so everyone's aware, upvotes and downvotes are also public, due to how federation works.

honestly surprised mine isn't majority self boosts.

PSA boost all your own posts for positive reputation
