Gotcha. What's the difference between a normal upvote and a federated one here?
Normal upvotes don't federate out to other servers, they only apply locally. This is because ActivityPub doesn't have private voting, so they can be seen by community moderators and instance admins.
So you would untick that if you want privacy here, but your vote score won't apply on other servers.
Thanks a lot!
