I was wondering about this. If they didn't keep track of who is voting, manipulation would be easier then it already is. The problem is that rogue instance admins could make votes public.

One possible answer is to allow anyone to see votes categorized by instance, so you know where they're originating from.

Small/single user instances could be aggregated together/anonymized or maybe that's just the price you pay for having a single user instance.
