Every instance can impose site-wide rules (e.g. beehaw disabled the downvote button, I believe, so you can’t downvote anyone in all of the communities that belong to the beehaw instance).
That’s true for those on beehaw. But if I look at a thread hosted on beehaw from another instance I can downvote. Since I’m looking at a copy/synced version of the thread and I don’t have downvotes disabled.
Still though. It limits the abuse of downvotes to an extent.
Here’s an example screenshot. Note the downvotes are there.

Cool, thanks for the clarification! I’m still trying to get the hang of the FediVerse. I’m liking it very much so far!
