    … wait am I the only one who conscientiously not want to upvote my own posts because of that?

      it not being there by default does make you feel a little hesitant and facebook-grandma-like when you do, but i stopped caring lol

      I grew up browsing the Facepunch forums, where self-rating posts was also possible and public at least at one point in time.

      To be blunt, it kinda just made everyone who did it look like a tool and they got hella made fun of. So no, you’re not the only one, I avoid upvoting my own stuff like the plague.

    I upvote my own stuff because on reddit something having 0 upvotes means someone downvoted it, so i associate having 0 points as “bad” even though that doesn’t make sense here because downvotes are shown separately :D force of habit

      i actually love that downvotes are shown separately and i hope that never changes. on reddit, i grew accustomed to glancing at the rating and allowing it to determine my opinion of the comment, whether subconsciously or not, which is wrong and usually unfair due to mass downvoting (1 downvote brings an onslaught of downvotes). on kbin though, the fact that they are separated changes how i perceive comments a lot, i view them way more neutrally and hardly pay attention to the score. nice change of pace

        Reddit allowed you to see the exact number of upvotes and downvotes until 2014, and it had a similar effect to how it is over here. It feels great to have them back!
