MODERATORS

When an intance blocks downvotes (like Beehaw), do the downvotes from other servers still affect the sorting / etc? (self.asklemmy)

An example: let’s say there’s a few comments on a post. A very controversial post has 10 upvotes, but 50 downvotes on other servers; the rest of the less-controversial comments have <10 upvotes.

Would this show up at the top, or the bottom, of the comments, when you’re using a downvote-disabling instance like Beehaw?

(i.e. are downvotes completely ignored for all calculations and behavior, or are they just “hidden” in the UI?)
