I tested it using the api on this instance /api/v3/post/like and I was unable to downvote any post. I also tried /api/v3/comment/like and it would also fail due to {"error":"downvotes_are_disabled"}⏎ .
I made sure to try and downvote a comment/post on an instance with downvotes enabled.
Not sure why people are saying you can, unless I've completely screwed this up, but it seems that downvotes don't work at all via the api if it's disabled.

dbzer0 is still federated. I have accounts on both and haven't seen any indication that either instance will defederate from one another
I think this list is a good start. As long as there is a simple enough process to decide on what to add (or remove) it won't matter too much if a few instances are missing for a bit. Better to gradually build up the list of federated instances than to have what happened before.
Hard pass on lemmy.world, I think it should not be considered unless a lot changes with their moderation and userbase. Currently it feels like the worst of Reddit decided to land there and I don't see that changing any time soon. This instance will feel a lot safer to us vegans and we can discuss veganism without them manipulating the discussion with their votes. Also, those libs can't downvote what they can't see :)
Wow, some of them look so much better already! Must be so relieved to finally get some water
