"Car Salesman alerted the horde!"

Update on this, federation on neovibe is fixed now

I'm on neovibe.app however federation over there is completely broken right now

I see, good to know that there's at least a proposal out there to make this less confusing!

About the -2 rep issue. I've found that what looks like the upvote button is actually the favourite button. The "Boost" button at the bottom seems to be the one that actually gives rep points. I think the buttons need to be swapped as it feels kinda misleading as to what they actually do at times
