Creating a bot that spams upvotes on your own instance is easy. And so is blocking all downvotes. But either approach does not really fit this instance, and I’d argue we’d loose one of our major advantages.

If you want to help out and have sufficient skill, I’d highly appreciate some method to detect bots and spammers reliably, so that those accounts could be flagged automatically.

To suspect spam attacks (doubt is still important):

Verify if up/down votes are coming too fastly

If the topic isn’t controversial or malicious ect, there’s shouldn’t have vote attacks (expect on user-targeted spam).

Bots can come from multiple federations. The only way to notice them is pretty random username without sense & their post/comment activity is dead.
