I think it would be probably a good idea to globally hide negative votes from the all feed until they reach a certain threshold. There are communities for topics that aren't popular on the fediverse that definitely get drive by buried in the all feed.
The downvote definitely has its place as a way to penalize offtopic and spam discussion, but it also requires some thick skin because people use it as a disagree button for better or worse. The scores don't really matter.
