And -12 here now… interesting!

Is Blahaj unique in that respect? Thus our instances likely sum all downvotes when posts are made to them?

Thanks :)

An interesting find that I didn't know about, so to Google I went :)

Apparently Lemmy communities can chose to disable downvotes. It's apparently a simple setting, so Blahaj won't be the only ones to have done so. Members of such a community are only able to upvote and will only see upvotes from other communities. And since that community server is responsible for syncing it's own threads to other federated instances, it's not going to collect the downvotes from the other Lemmy servers just to pass them on, so it only gathers + passes on upvotes. (If I understood it correctly)

It also means that the few downvotes that we are seeing on Blahaj are not representative. Imo it might be better to disable downvoting for all, if the post was made on a server that doesn't sync downvotes.
