About 1/4th of the downvotes on this post are from zero-content accounts. Likely some US democratic-party astroturfing going on like they did on reddit.

And how may of the upvotes are from "zero-content accounts"?

Thank you for pointing out the astroturfing. Would it be possible to implement a filter which diminishes or ignores the vote count of astroturfing accounts?

There's a few proposals in the github issues, such as making all votes transparent, and an option to block federated downvotes.
