I agree, and I still don't even know if they mean magazine as in the publication or as in the thing that holds ammunition - both make about the same amount of sense to me.
I find kbin more confusing overall, e.g. how you have both boost and voting available, but then for short posts boost is more obviously placed (since the up/downvote buttons are way over on the right).
Ah, they'd changed it? That explains my confusion - I already had a Mastodon account so I was familiar with the boost concept, apart from how it worked in a threaded setup.
Anyway, yeah - confusing!
