I mean, does it seem to change the vote numbers when you do it? Like, try downvoting my reply and we'll see if it results in us both seeing a 0. :P
Downvoted as well. Looks like no since other people have also downvoted you and you're still at 1
I'll have to test- maybe other users on my instance can see my downvotes, but they won't federate because BeeHaw rejects them. And therefore no other instance can see them.
Edit: Okay so I've confirmed it.
When downvoting content on an instance that doesn't allow downvotes, you can see only the downvotes that come from other users on your instance. I can see two downvotes now, which happened just after I used a second account to downvote.
I am pleased for my role in performing science today. :D
Science is not that hard as people think :P Thank you my friend.
Sorry to crash your theory but I think I see your downvotes
I think you're just seeing @serfraser@sopuli.xyz's downvote, they're on your same instance and commented below that they also downvoted.
Fair enough
Downvoted from my instance and it's a zero. No record of the other downvotes being tested here though. Maybe it's humouring me with a fake downvote but not really transferring across to your post?
That's what seems to be the case. So, it's looking like it's basically a placebo button for y'all. :P
Downvoted for testing purposes, showing score Of 0 for this comment for me currently
I'm seeing a 1 on my end, so either things are lagging out for different users and I'm about to see a massive chunk hit...
Or it's all localized. :P
Downvoted.. :)
I'm still seeing a 1 here. So, I think the downvote is literally just a placebo for you. :P
Hehe I think that's awesome. :)
All the satisfaction of downvoting someone for being wrong, but none of the knock-on social effects, eh?
Just chiming in to remark how hilarious and wholesome these downvote comments are! =D
I'm still tickled hours later at how eager folks were to figure that out. :D
Okay so I've confirmed it.
