I’m a little confused. So I crossposted something from the Shadowrun community (nobody’s interested in an AAR, that’s fine, no issue).
Weird thing is, I got a downvote on the post, even though technically it’s on beehaw, which got me thinking.
This downvote is NOT visible on the beehaw server, but is visible in my server.
Does that mean that if a user outside beehaw makes a post in a beehaw community, that post can get downvoted by non-beehaw members? If so, how does that work?
Compare this: https://beehaw.org/post/485342
With that: https://sh.itjust.works/post/24091
I deleted the post and immediately checked both links again. By the time anybody else checks, both links will show deleted.
However, on checking immediately, the beehaw one was deleted and the sh.itjust.works one was not. This proves that the beehaw one is authoritative and federates out from there.
This only deepens the mystery: if beehaw is authoritative for beehaw posts, how could a downvote propagate?
