How does one prevent self-confirmation? If it's anonymous, can I confirm myself a dozen times?

No, you are anonymous to the app but not to the underlying network of IPFS where you are pseudo-anonymous. The app uses the peerID, encrypts a portion of it and uses that as identifier.

Gotcha'. Isn't PeerID just a hash of a public key? It's pretty trivial to generate a bunch of those and self-confirm, no?

Yeah of course. Not from the app though.
