Google: Sure, we'll sell it to anyone who pays off our Russian Govt fine.

What Lemmy client do you use?

I am asking because it caught my attention that you didn't upvote your own comment.

Also, funny reference 😂

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The Lemmy web client, same as Reddit, allows you to de-upvote your posts.
It feels weird to upvote your own post anyway and I don't do so unless I am asking for help and want it seen more, urgently.

That is so odd, if you dont think what you are saying is relevant or necessary why say it?

Your conscientiousness will be lost in a sea of others self importance, at least level the playing field and support yourself.

If I worried about necessity, I would probably not have a Lemmy account.

level the playing field

I'm not playing dependent upon others, just upon my own ideals. I feel like an upvote needs to mean something. In my case, it means, I need more people to see it, for me.
In most cases, the feeling behind my posts/comments are: If someone sees it, good, have fun.

Your own upvote on your own comment doesn’t mean anything, because every single comment starts with one upvote by default, not zero. All you’re doing is moving your comments below everyone else’s.

Sometimes I downvote my own comment just to add a little chaos.

I see you being Chaotic-Chaotic over here.

Your own upvote on your own comment doesn’t mean anything

Neither do words, or little magnetic particles lain down nicely on a polymer disc, until people decide they mean something.

[–] anas 5 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I don’t think anybody decided that an upvote count of 1 means anything.

Turns out he is a knob, I'll follow his lead and downvote him too

[–] anas 3 points 1 week ago

I mean, if it makes them feel better, more power to them. I was just curious about their reason.

Well, I don't think we have decided on a standard meaning for an upvote in the first place, so we do as we like.
In the end, it's all about what makes me feel more satisfied.

I see a blue button, I press it, it goes grey, I'm happy.
