If you were to turn that on for lemmy.world as well I think it would get you better voting behavior from users all around.

I don't think so. I think the more likely scenario is this would lead to people weaponizing other's downvote history, and then very quickly people would stop downvoting completely. You'd have less downvotes overall, which is not always a good thing. At that point they should just remove the ability to downvote altogether, they'll be accomplishing the same thing.
