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.

    I think it’s like for compatability with the microblogging side of the fediverse; so when someone on Mastodon follows you they can see what you’ve been “retweeting”.

        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?
