No, I mean…

Let's say (and this wouldn't ever happen) that we convinced Reddit to add federation support identical to our own. When you're viewing Reddit posts from Saidit, and find something funny, and click the fun button… they get a downvote. And conversely, if you don't like something on Saidit-from-Reddit, you want to downvote it, but accidentally mark it "fun".

What do we do about that?

Incidentally, /s/CringeAnarchy has CSS'd in up and down arrows, which isn't such a smart move as the mod probably thought it was. Do you want to try to explain, or just leave it?

Well since only SaidIt clones will have the same voting model, the best we can do is work around it. If a downvote comes in, it's discarded (edit: or subtract downvotes from the upvotes if both are present). For a fun vote to go out, it either counts as another upvote or it's discarded. Etc. etc.

I'm just gonna live and let live. Maybe they like it because it ups the cringe factor. Surely they will notice the score in the sidebar not subtracting points on "downvotes" sooner or later. Edit: they have already changed them anyway.
