As much as I like the wholesomeness of the concepts of upvotes only, I’d love to downvote idiots on other instances

Basically, our ranking algorithms here don’t take downvotes in to account, wherever they come from.
Which means that if you view “hot posts” in a community on our instance and then view the same community on another instance, the ranking of the posts might appear different if they count downvotes.
