Why is vote "fuzzing" so extreme? (lemmy.world)

I've been noticing the number of upvotes on posts fluctuate wildly...from 12, to 350, to 150. Pretty wild swings. I know fuzzing is needed to combat bots, but I had thought it was more like at the few % level, not orders of magnitude...

It’s a bug. One of many related to how the UI updates in real time using websockets. The good news is they are getting rid of websockets in the next release, and should fix a lot of these issues.

@ruud@lemmy.world maybe a featured/sticky post pointing to currently open issues in GitHub would be helpful?
