Local communities and down vote federation (self.meta)

With slrpnk.net disabling down voting, can posts in a local community be down voted and seen as such by users from other instances?

Context: I am considering creating a community here and want to know that will handicap features people elsewhere didn't choose to not have.

For me it usually works cross instance 🤷‍♂️

What I mean is that what people consider worthy of a down-vote differs from instance to instance. You can't enforce a community rule for down-voting behaviour and some Lemmy instances are known for politically motivated down-vote brigading that does not align with the values I would like to see here on this instance.

Ah right d-; Mobs can also jump in communities they're not part of just to down vote.
