    try reaching out to mods or admins, that post shows 0 downvotes from my instance which could mean there is vote manipulation/botting happening on an instance mine is defederated from

    that said, 196 may not be the place to air this grievance. better communities for this exist really

      196 lives on the Blajah Zone instance, which has down votes disabled. BZ doesn’t federate down votes so 196 Post will only show the down votes from other users on your instance, and each instance will show a different number of down votes.

        yeah but none of the users or posts involved are blahaj zone. literally the only blahaj related element to this post is that OP complained here.

      More likely the downvotes come from users you’ve already blocked or an instance with which yours is not federated. Supposedly, there are also instances that only show local votes as well.

      Regardless, you are the only one who has said they didn’t see any downvotes, so far.

        nope, blocking users does not hide their downvotes. know this from experience. also confirmed without being signed in. my instance also does not show only local votes either, but pulls them in from all federated instances. so neither of those are realistic possibilities.

        edit: link to see exactly how it looks from my end
