Downvote are an important method for controlling misinformation. We do need better info in side bars informing users what the button is for and what it is not for

Mods should be banning people who downvote content that is well-cited and high effort
I haven’t even seen an instance with a sidebar that explains what the downvote button is for.
It has gotten much worse in the past year, but I blame the instance admins and mods for not even trying to educate their users
Yes they can. The vote will not show up logged in from your instance but it will show up on the instance the user votes from.
That’s the user downvoting the copy of the post on their own instance. If OP doesn’t have downvotes then those votes won’t federate.
