Reddthat has downvotes turned off, only upvotes are recorded on your instance. Jerboa (if that’s the client you’re talking about), has options to display downvotes as a percentage, up and down or net score only. Those options will only function if your instance records downvotes.
You can’t just get scores from other instances, that’s not how that works. The scores shown from each instances varies slightly due to different instances being linked. That’s helpful because if an egotistical admin spins up an instance with 5000 self-made accounts that all upvote a post that admin made, defederating that instance will remove the stuffed votes from the score.


That means that Copilot could have already indexed the content of all your files without telling you.
