Does Mbin federate downvotes, yet?
Are you asking if they show downvotes? If so, yes!
No. It used to be that if someone on a remote server down voted something in Mbin then that vote would not be sent to all the other subscribers on other servers.
Oh, yeah, I haven't a clue. I can test it out.
It doesn't look like it.
Ok. So most people won't be aware of that but in my case the answer to your question is "yes I could join but if there is a similar community hosted on a Lemmy / PieFed instance I'd choose that instead".
To me, downvotes are not negative - a downvote on a post is equivalent to upvoting every other post. Lacking downvotes reduces the quality signal that causes good stuff to be visible.
