OC Are boosts supposed to be eternal?

As a test, I have boosted an article, and then removed the boost afterwards.

However, even though I am not boosting an article anymore, it still shows up in my profile as boosted:
Here's an example:

Is it supposed to be like that?
Because if you accidentally hit boost on something that you don't like it would be saved there forever.

Also not a fan of this if it’s intentional.

My current understanding is that a boost is meant to be the equivalent of a retweet, but I did the same as you, and now I want my test boost gone.

It should at least be undoable/deletable, imo. I would like full control over the content in my profile.

I agree, intuitively it should be reverisble.
Once I determined whether this is a bug or not, I will open an issue on codeberg.

Same, I boosted something randomly to see what it did and now it's stuck there. And then more recently I boosted one of my own comments because I heard that doing so added to your reputation points and I wanted to see if that was true (it is). So it seems this "boost" thingy could probably use a bit more work.

Yeah, I downvoted a post and now it's showing up on my profile as a boost. I'm not sure whether a bug occurred or if my finger slipped and I did accidentally boost it, but either way I'd appreciate having a way to unboost it 🙁

(Update: This has now happened with a comment I downvoted too, so I'm thinking bug. Retracting the downvote didn't unboost either post, either!)

Yup. Same happened with me. Downvoted a spam bot (unbelievable how fast they came here) and noticed it appeared on my profile under the boost tab. Definitely a bug.
