Should I disable downvotes? (yiffit.net)

It often makes me sad seeing some posts receiving downvotes, even though I know it's from random people across Lemmy instances who probably aren't furries.

I could disable downvotes which would make it so that they're ignored by the instance and the count would only reflect the amount of upvotes. But, that also means that Yiffit users wouldn't be able to use downvotes anywhere else.

What do you think?

Do those downvotes get federated to other instances?

I guess I've got it in my head that the original copy is the "source of truth" and any downvotes not visible there are somehow "not real". Sorry about that!
