    The boosts tab in my profile is filling with things I haven’t boosted. I know I’ve mistakenly tapped on some buttons on mobile, but even unboosting things doesn’t remove them. I tested with this thread by boosting and unboosting, and it’s now permanently in my boosts tab. Even a comment I accidentally reduced and unreduced is in that tab. I don’t understand why. I’m brand new to kbin so maybe I’m doing something wrong or unaware of something.

      Same here; I change my mind about upvotes/downvotes all the time (especially since I have the terrible habit of voting while I’m still reading the comment), but the ones I’ve done that for are still there. Heck, the first couple I see when I look at my profile are ones I did that for. Read half the comment, upvoted out of the corner of my eye while I was still reading, read the second half, went “Hoo boy, nevermind,” and un-voted.

      Related to that, upvotes/downvotes being public is a dealbreaker for me. I don’t feel safe upvoting or downvoting anything here unless it’s completely uncontroversial, because I don’t want to open myself up to harassment by people who disagree.

      I’ll hang around for a bit to see if that changes, but I’m very unlikely to stick around if it doesn’t.

      Boosts are like retweets. You’re republishing the content on your own feed, so I’m not sure that it’s a reversible action.

        When I posted that there was a bug that caused stuff to show up in your boosts that shouldn’t. Pretty sure it’s fixed now.
