No shit, but if you’re getting 1000 upvotes from the same bangledeshi or Russian IP you can a least figure it out, hey its prolly not legit…

Thing is votes are federated. if someone makes an instance and farms votes by making bots on same instance, only instance owner has info about IPs. Every other instance thinks the votes are legit.
