    Technical note, of course the systen needs to remember who voted and who didn’t. I heard that it can cause considerable network load at the servers.

        Yes that is what it does, in the backend. Every time someone pushes a vote button though, the info is sent back to the originating server, and then it is sent out to all other servers that have at least one subscriber, so that the numbers can be updated. So this is internal federation traffic.There’s now a discussion to possibly pool all those internal messages.
