The best part of the fediverse is that anyone can run their own server. The downside of this is that anyone can easily create hordes of fake accounts, as I will now demonstrate.
Fighting fake accounts is hard and most implementations do not currently have an effective way of filtering out fake accounts. I’m sure that the developers will step in if this becomes a bigger problem. Until then, remember that votes are just a number.

Obviously, on the server the posts are from, you display the full vote count. There, the admins know the accounts, can vet them, etc.
This would be rather to detect and alert admin of a bad actors (instances) and then admin can kick it off from federation same for other tupe of offences.
Interesting idea.

Small instances are cheap, so we need a way to prevent 100 bot instances running on the same server from gaming this too
