What is the purpose of voting up or down on? I’m not clear what voting is suposed to achieve?
I never vote up or down on here in the same manner that I never click Like on any social media sites either, I don’t see what the intent behind it is.

Honestly, you might be more likely in the majority, Reddit automatically did it, so people didn’t feel guilty for removing said upvote.
But that’s among one of the only platforms where boosting your own post is considered fine.
Im not surprised if people compare it with the Facebook equivalent of liking your own post - the only difference is that Lemmy doesn’t tell you where the upvotes come from, which might entice more people to do it as they cannot be judged for it like you can on Facebook.
