How does reputation work on kbin? (kbin.social)

I have only commented so far with only positive reception, all my comments are in the positives and I only have 5 downvote all I am pretty sure coming from the same person on the same thread, yet I have -5 rep, why?

if I add my positive upvotes, likes, whatever and subtract my 5 downvotes I would have 97-5 which is 92, why do only downvotes or negative interaction count but not positive?

You are correct in how it works. It's incredibly frustrating. On Reddit I was +80k, and I don't care about the actual number, I care that it showed I contributed to conversations to the best of my ability. I should be at plus several hundred right now but I'm in the negative. It's not a huge deal but I'd prefer not to be mistaken for a troll.

At least we all now know, if you agree with a comment or post and want to show support boosting shows far more support then upvoting so a good rule of thumb now is if you upvote it, you should also boost it, at least for now. I hope this will be changed.

Ernest replied above that he agrees it should be changed
