When I downvote a post from a community based in an instance that disabled downvotes (ie Beehaw), who sees that downvote? Only me? Only other Mlem users? Only users that share my instance? Everyone but Beehaw users?

I’m curious about this even outside of a mlem perspective - do beehaw posts accumulate downvotes but just not display them, or are they accumulated and shown to downvote-enabled instances, or are they just thrown away?
I’d assume they’re just thrown away. Haven’t poked the code myself but if they’re disabled only via the UI that’d hardly be disabled
They’re rejected by the API if you attempt to downvote on beehaw, so I’d say they’re thrown away 👍
