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

I'm a little confused about how the upvote/downvote system works as related to your reputation on KBin. Can someone explain?

I thought kbin and Lemmy do federate down votes, but this isn't included in the wider fediverse protocol, yet ...but I might be wrong?

I'm not sure if Lemmy federates downvotes. ernest has said that kbin doesn't, though. Maybe that's changed since he made that statement.

AFAIK, though, there's no need for changes to ActivityPub. It has everything it needs to propagate 'actions', which can be defined however a platform chooses. Other platforms just need to know how to interpret those actions in order to do anything with them, and I don't see sites that aren't aping Reddit's engagement model to care about downvotes in any way.

Upon review you are probably right - there is quite a lot of discussion about it here: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/3
