MODERATORS
I just upvoted you and saw the vote increase on two remote instances.
The instances don't seem to agree on your vote count, but both I was watching increased by one shortly after I upvoted you from beehaw.
Yes, looking at the docs linked from a sibling comment I see that upvotes and downvotes are part of the protocol, which is good to see. To prevent vote stuffing however, it does seem that all instances will have a database of upvotes and downvotes and who did them. They were never really secret anyway but it's interesting that any server can see this, it'll be an interesting development to be able to track vote brigading.
