What is user "reputation"? (kbin.social)

If you go onto your user profile page, and scroll all the way to the right, there is a section called "reputation".

What is it, and how does it work?

Is it like the "karma" system that Reddit uses?

Kinda like karma, it's the culmination of downvotes (reduces) and boosts. Much easier to get downvotes than boosts though. Idk why the upvotes (favorites) don't count. Maybe that will be a change soon

Right now the thing with boosts is unintended behavior, the only reason that it's not getting fixed yet is there are a lot more urgent things to be done, like preventing the servers from crashing and burning under the new load.
