I never really thought about the automatic self upvote on Reddit and Lemmy. But after reading this article Dont let me like my own post, i’m wondering if we should just get rid of it. Its not really adding anything, or does it? Plus removing it would slightly simplify the code, and slightly less federation messages would get sent (probably unnoticable in practice).
Why wouldn’t I up-vote links that I posted myself? Upvote just means that I want people to see this in their feed, which is why I posted it in the first place, no?
