Upvotes seem to just federate as likes and dislikes.

    What do you mean “send fake votes”?
    Or rather, who do you think should be responsible for identifying and blocking fraudulent votes?

    And how do you reconcile votes that come from servers that you’ve defederated with? Should everyone have the same view of the post, or should people only see votes from servers that their server is federated with? What about votes from users you’ve personally blocked? Etc

    I personally kinda think that the responsibility is on the server hosting the post, and that everyone should see the same (but anonymous) vote count, of which the hosting server is the single source of truth.
