Do instances count votes differently or separately? I don't even know.

    Yeah, it's sort of an odd part of the threadiverse. Every instance calculates based on what they're notified of which means the age of the server along with what other instances it's federated with impacts the count

    The federation of votes makes sense for potentially mitigating bad actor instances with false votes. Like if a new instance spun up and falsified their votes it could be negated easily by defederating.

    Having differing votes is like having differing communities based on subscriptions. Just a necessary side effect of picking and choosing what gets shared when federated.
