If you’re on a different instance than 196 and you can see downvotes on a post, those are literally only from other accounts on your instance! When they get sent to Blahaj they get dropped from the database entirely, then when other instances ask for an updated tally, Blahaj just replies zero :D

Your local instance will treat it’s own downvote count as valid despite the 0 reply, hence only seeing local downvotes.
