What does "reduce" mean for an article, and how do I use it? (kbin.social)

On an article I see: boosts (x) | reduces (x) | favourites (x)

What does "reduces" mean, what effect does it have, and how does a user reduce a post?

I see the link to boost a post, and I see "more" but this doesn't contain a "reduce" link.

Favorites and Boosts effectively move a post up the list to be seen more. Boosts also increase a users reputation while reduces decrease it. Favorites do nothing for your reputation, but the dev for kbin says he will change it so favorites and reduces are the driving factors. He may change the terms too.
