    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

        I don’t care about hiding the downvotes. I simply have no interest in seeing their comments/replies to others or myself.
