How would it work? The other instances still need to know what actor is behind the activity.
Also, why? This is social media, not official elections. "Votes" here are completely meaningless.
Like monero. However monero does it is the strategy I propose.
For the same reason it’s not readily available already.
Either you are conflating two different applications of cryptography or you know something that I don't. And as someone with a pretty good grasp of blockchain applications, I'd love to hear if you have something novel.
Perhaps you mean something like Zero-Knowledge Proofs to verify who voted in an AP object without having to reveal it? This would probably work, but then you have to have all those nasty blockchain-y things like validator nodes and expensive proof generators... If we go that route we might as well go all the way and just use a fully p2p system.
