I’ve been noticing the number of upvotes on posts fluctuate wildly…from 12, to 350, to 150. Pretty wild swings. I know fuzzing is needed to combat bots, but I had thought it was more like at the few % level, not orders of magnitude…

      It’s this; the score isn’t fuzzed, it’s the real score, but from a wrong post.

    Oh, I assumed it was just a bug.

    I have nothing to back this up but I assumed it was due to federating everywhere. And calculating the actual total, dealing with duplication etc.

    Would be great to see someone with a bit more know how chime in.

    I doubt there’s any deliberate vote fuzzing here—reddit did that to prevent karma-farming bots from figuring out if they were being detected and blocked, but with no permanent karma, that shouldn’t be an issue here.
