I’ve been thinking about problems with mind copying and democracy with uploads.
In order to avoid Sibyl attacks you might want to implement something like compressibility weightings of course. So if a voter has lots of similarity to other voters it is not weighted very much.
Otherwise you get a race to the bottom with viewpoints that might not capture the richness of humanity ( there is a pressure to simplify the thing being copied to get more copies of it given a certain amount of compute)
The trick is to separate your important traits from the unimportant ones, and change the unimportant ones randomly (e.g. randomly choose your new favorite color), so that you increase the psychological diversity of your movement without endangering its goals.

If your view of the problem is very complex you might lose to get compressed easily as there would be lots of mutual information
