Interesting feature, wondering regarding the snapshot how to get rid of the bots there since I think there are always bots that run any available snapshot

Not necessarily a 100% fixable problem. Or rather not important enough to go all out on it. Sure, bots needs to purged to some extent, but there are always going to be some, no matter how hard you try. Just like in real life - some people will do the right thing for the wrong reasons. I think, we all know how to get rid of the majority - it is matter of time. In the mean time we could just look from a different angle. Lets get a lot more people genuinely interested in voting, to outweigh artificial portion the data.
hmm yea already past the 100 vote mark with 5 likes on the post. I think there's a lot of data to go off of for bot detection in ways that are relatively safe. If someone is consistently voting within the first minute in 90% of cases they're for sure a bot. The real issue is you'd want to have transparency around the methodology, but that makes it really easy to game; you could look at activity prior to the rules being known, but then becomes unfair to new users. But I think the really obvious cases are easy to detect. But introducing an additional layer on top of the original vote can introduce not so great ways of attacking governance systems too. It's a tricky problem, but I think the Lens ecosystem has a really good shot at coming up with good solutions here considering how easy it is to access high quality data
