When I was in kbin and could see who voted because voting metadata is visible there, almost always left wing comments (e.g. supportive of trans rights) received downvotes from someone on lemmy.world while the upvotes were from multiple, varied instances. So I'm not sure kbin is the biggest problem unless things have changed since then

There are two problems: federation works best with a variety of instances of like-minded people, and people on open-registration generalistic instances abusing that to wreak havoc on other instances.

Same as Instances can fully de-federate from other instances, they should also be able to de-federate voting from "non-friendly" instances.
