The federation of votes makes sense for potentially mitigating bad actor instances with false votes. Like if a new instance spun up and falsified their votes it could be negated easily by defederating.
Having differing votes is like having differing communities based on subscriptions. Just a necessary side effect of picking and choosing what gets shared when federated.
