Just stumbled across this...
(dubvee.org)
Names blurred to protect the innocent / crazy. Not trying to call anyone out, just thought the response was hilarious and highly disproportionate. Like, they distinguished that comment (green border/background).
For reference, the comment I presume that was downvoted that apparently triggered that response was to the tune of "BoTH SiDEz!!!!" with some hyper generalizing / stereotyping on the side.
The instance can also disable downvotes. It won't block a remote instance from downvoting, but those downvotes won't be federated and will only be seen for users of the instance where the downvote happened.
Now that is an interesting idea. A timeline that ranks only by local votes
Yeah, with that, you'd be able to control who can vote on the posts your users see. Very useful for a totalitarian admin.
I had similar experiences in the past, I get you.
If you want it to be for vegans only then you should defederate tbh
