The downvotes you can see (on this post) are from accounts on your instance then. As this post is semi inflammatory it is highly likely to have garnered some downvotes.
Edit: I guess I was wrong regarding the logic of how downvotes work when we block them.
Are those downvotes maybe coming from non-Lemmy instances?
As an admin you should be able to see the downvotes of the post that made it to your instance.
I’m wondering if some software might be broadcasting votes to all linked instances, while I believe Lemmy only sends them to the community instance and it’s the community instance’s responsibility to relay them.
Srange, I can see some downvotes. That’s usually not the case with other instances that have downvotes disabled.

Trouble is that I’m the only user on my instance. And I don’t remember downvoting it 15 times.
