Probably better to post in the github issue rather than replying here.

Thanks, did not know about this.

So, from a technical view....

There is a person who is mad about the fact that a different opinion might exist... That person clicks downvote in their app and it does not have any effect??

Or are the downvotes still broascasted to all instances, but "my new" instance just ignores them? Just curious, how dislikes enabled and disabled both work in a decentralized system....

They are good questions. The downvotes for an instance with downvotes disabled are simply ignored so they don't appear in the interface and they do not affect sorting.
