@HidingCat This would be good. BTW I just clicked by accident my own replies boost and it counts as Reputation too. Is that a bug or unwanted feature? Can’t imagine this being a design choice.
That’s one area where Reddit made the right choice. You shouldn’t be able to updoot yourself, but if you can, you definitely shouldn’t have to manually updoot yourself. It should either be automatic, or not possible. Voting up one’s own posts feels dirty, but if you risk your post not being seen by not doing it, you kind of have to. It’s a weird mechanic.
@1chemistdown In this reply, I didn’t meant the upvote, but the boost (which is basically the share option). But the boost will add to Reputation. And I can boost myself.
So in short in Kbin currently:
upvote does not count as Reputation,
downvote count as Repuation,
and boost (share) count as Repuation.
It is easier in mass to upvote or downvote without spamming the system. Boost option won’t be used as much. So the ratio for self regulation is lost.

On Reddit, when you post or comment, that will automatically have 1 upvote. That is not done here so you should updoot yourself.

On reddit, you automatically upvote yourself. You can change it manually to downvoting yourself tho iirc.
Yea on reddit the automatic upvote that you get when you post or comment dosen’t count for anything. its just an upvote that just shows there!

See this post
Reputation is just a thing displayed on your profile, it doesn’t matter.
It’s just bugged and will hopefully be fixed soon.
Karma is just virtual, don’t bother unless it has a functional purpose.
But number go up is a functional purpose. :o
Number go down is funny ;), NO I won’t make a habit out of this.
