Probably better to post in the github issue rather than replying here.

What if an instance sends 1000 fake hashes as votes?

What's the difference from users though?

You'd give each user an anonymous vote ID that only the instance can link back to their username.

What’s the difference from users though?

Imagine you have 500 users that consisently upvote each other and 500 users that vote randomly on different posts. If you jumble up those 500+500 in 1000 random hashes, it becomes impossible to distinguish who is part of the voting ring and who isn't.
