FOSSDLE PieFedPost upvotes are like github stars

Which - to me - is a good thing.
Do not know what downvotes are.

More or less yes, depending on how you have your sorting set and if the comment/post has *any* positive interactions. At worst it just shows as something with a single upvote and is sorted based on time or however it fits inline with other content with similar vote numbers. Since it's removing the outliers you see a better overall picture of what's being said IMO. It's up to you to decide if that's positive, negative, or even something you care about.
It affects how people on instances with downvotes disabled see it no matter where it was posted from. Basically the downvotes simply do not exist to instances that have them disabled.
Really helpful. Gonna act on this information.
