Upvotes seem to just federate as likes and dislikes.

I was thinking that it would make sense to federate upvotes, but with the hash of your username instead of your actual handle. Would this work?

The userbase is small enough that hashing would be easy cracked by a determined person. Even with salting, iterating through the entire userbase and hashing each username+salt to check for a match would probably not take long

What if a uuid is generated every time a user signs up, and every upvote iterates through the uuids?
