Well, there definitely aren't any dislikes. But you're right with the "Like Activity". I missed that, but it's in the standard. It doesn't really define what to do with it, though. The standard has a "likes" and a "shares" collection. It stops there. The rest of our voting system isn't part of the ActivityPub standard. (And that's also why i missed the likes, because I searched for the word "vote".)

No, as I said, there are Likes and Dislikes. You can see the Dislike object in the standard here. ActivityPub is composed of various different standards that all come together to form a federation system.

Likes are defined as being added to the Liked collection, which is essentially votes. It's all just what you call a vote or a like, it's just semantics. It is definitely part of the standard.
