From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

No, looks like it's a global setting. If your instance doesn't allow it, you're not allowed to downvote anywhere.

Can a person outside of instance with disabled downvotes downvote stuff on that instance?

No, that's what I was trying to explain. If downvotes are disabled on your instance, you can't downvote anything anywhere on any instance.

I'm asking for the opposite, if your instance allows you to downvote stuff then can you downvote stuff that's on instances that don't allow them?

Yeah, like beehaw. I can downvote stuff on beehaw, tried it just to see if I can.

But, I don't think they can see the downvotes.
