Hashing alone if it’s just usernames isn’t enough. Need something like keyed hashes, but then malicious servers can lie about numbers of votes.
Otherwise you need something ridiculously overengineered like public but encrypted logs of user actions and Zero-knowledge proofs of correctness mapping everything to a distinct existing user without revealing who it is.
As I mentioned in another post: for consistency is better to have each server count total votes from their own users, send a signed & timestamped message with the count to the host of the post being voted on. Then the host can display a consistent vote count to everybody that shows where votes are coming from without manipulation of external votes.
Each individual server can lie about its count, but not by too much or else it will be detected and the server can get defederated (or have its votes ignored).
Especially in federated networks where the data isn’t under access control, doubly so if the privacy extension is optional
Varies between games, it’s common there’s features missing so it’s not equivalent but often Linux has remained faster when equivalent because its implementation is more efficient. Unless you’re dealing with ray tracing and other recent fancy stuff.

Every time Republicans got elected they did terrible things. Every time the warning was correct
In the story people are warned when nothing bad was coming, but Republicans have been led by evil people since at least Reagan
Republicans are the ones who was really calling wolf with all their fake panics, but nobody ever calls them out for it
But they don’t even need lies to make Republicans look bad. They just need to push harder
And now the wolf came.
The danger was real, unlike the dangers Republicans scream about. Why didn’t anybody tell THEM they’re crying wolf?
This is starting because Trump himself also don’t know how tariffs works
Also see the damn water reservoir thing because he doesn’t even understand how water works
And see the Colombia thing
