Why is vote "fuzzing" so extreme? (lemmy.world)

I've been noticing the number of upvotes on posts fluctuate wildly...from 12, to 350, to 150. Pretty wild swings. I know fuzzing is needed to combat bots, but I had thought it was more like at the few % level, not orders of magnitude...

Web socket issue apparently. Definitely a bug, there is no vote fuzzing at all

It's this; the score isn't fuzzed, it's the real score, but from a wrong post.
