Per flandish, we can all downvote anything we want for whatever reason we want. But we must be aware that our votes are visible, social actions, and we must accept the consequences that come from those actions, which might quite reasonably involve being excluded from further socializing.
Yes, I like it too. I think it should go further; I think votes should just be like any other reaction, where every user who reacted is readily visible. The information is there for everyone, but most interfaces decline to display it, which creates an uneven environment.

are downvotes visible on a user’s profile? or just in log/mod log details?
It’s meant for mods/admins only, but there are sites that publicize it for the obsessives that need to know exactly who dared to give them a downvote.
cool! i like more and more how open federated stuff is.
