There is already a foolproof method that is immune to any abuse of trust by admins; create an alt account.

I get this is obviously intended behaviour on part of actpub but I’d love for there to be a pseudo-anonymous voting system too. Maybe an option to hash user credentials when added to likes to ensure that they’re unique whilst obfuscating the original user.

True, but there are other benefits too. Bots can’t crawl through your likes for example. Maybe you want a feature on lemmy or mastodon or whatever with anonymous polling? Maybe you’re implementing anonymous polling into an app for a trade union that needs total anonymity even from admins? It’s not totally unusual!
IMO it makes sense to do this at a platform level just because there’s a unified implementation of obfuscation across all the fediverse for any platforms that want to use, rather than a bunch of unique solutions that would be duplicated effort.

I mean, seems pretty pseudoanonymous to me, unless Musk had another kid he named apj2k36 or something.

People have really weird usernames sometimes

Hash them with the post ID appended, so a user can’t be identified across posts
