    I can easily set up an instance and write a simple bot which just spams votes with randomized user strings.

    Well you can do that for a little bit, until your instance gets found out and it gets defederated. And you need to pay for a new domain if you want to do it again. So the current system actually makes it cost real money to do this spam you’re talking about.

      Sure, but the detection and enforcement mechanism would be the same as it is now.
