Withholding the current score of a post till after a vote is cast (but the casting is committal) should be enough to prevent strategic behavior. But it comes with many downsides (I think feed ordering / recsys could work with private information, so the scores may be in principle inferrable from patterns in your feed, but you probably won’t actually do it. The worse problem is commitment, I do like to edit my votes quite a bit after initial impressions).
I imagine there’s a more subtle instrument, withholding the current score until committal votes have been cast seems almost like a limit case.
