If votes are anonymous and federated, it's very easy for me to add or subtract 900 votes from whatever I want.
You should consider anything you do on social media to be public. Even if Facebook tries to claim that it's not.
Oh I like a pessimistic view - partly because it makes a discussion spicier, but also because it's important for a user to understand the power that an instance owner wields!
