Huh that's really interesting. I wonder why that is then.
@ram
Not sure, I've only been able to find snippets of dev discussion on it but as far as I can tell it's part of Ernest's philosophy.
He used to have the upvote button mean sharing and the "boost" button for upvotes, but he reconfigured it because we all got too confused.
This way we can never vote brigade, or be brigaded either, I guess?
But kbin is still being built, it's a lot newer than Lemmy, so who knows what the future holds. It's interesting that different instances will have a wildly different picture about whether a comment is popular though.
