    I have never seen anyone un-upvote their own post before on this platform (viewing from voyager at least), most of my comments are initiated as pre-upvoted by myself, the author.

    I’m thinking either you did undo the auto-upvote, or the other possibility is that it posted with zero votes for some reason. I might have to start also de-voting my own posts that I am not specifically enthused by or excited about, if that is what you have done here.

    (I’m still on Reddit mode where there might be some kind of running total for my profile, but I never bothered keeping track or angling for extra votes over there much either, it just cracks me up how much the little sorting algorithm metrics mean to some of us even when we might not be willing to admit or even recognize it sometimes)

      I initially started de-upvoting just because it felt weird to have a blue marker on my own comment, which was supposed to be for other’s comments that I upvoted. It then evolved into having a “reason” behind it. But yeah, it just seems weird to upvote one’s own comment.
