Yes.
But downvotes, the only really drama-causing aspect of this, are not federated so won't be visible from another instance.
Frankly i'd prefer all of it to be private, but there's merit to both sides.
re:drama-causing, i'm also removing downvotes from my instance in dev for the same reason. I do think some version of muting has value, though - but kinda feels like it should be a tool earned, similar to HackerNews (they have downvotes, but only after a certain amount of earned "karma").
Downvotes are not federaded on your instance or on kbin in general or even on AcitivityPub in general?
Cause that would look like an probably little known factor for choosing an instance.
