Yes, nothing prevents them from hitting the button. But the downvote wouldn't be federated. Beehaw would never know if everyone else was downvoting them.
hm. Seems you're right. The original score doesn't get updated if you downvote. Only the score on your own instance. Why even show the button on this one comment if it's inconsistent like that?
