Yes. When somebody else has a better take and I want it to be the top comment, I will downvote mine.
Yes, when I was completely wrong and someone else corrected me in a reply. It’s happened a handful of times. I don’t like to delete comments.
I think in that case I’d probably add an update to the comment. But downvoting yourself feels really honest somehow
Oh, I edit with a strikethrough or correction as needed. But that’s what downvotes are for, reducing the impact of irrelevant content.
Nah I only upvote comments and very rarely downvote. If I’m wrong I’ll just reply saying that i was wrong and concede the point.
My instance doesn’t allow me to :)
To downvote your own or to downvote anything at all?
I can’t downvote anything at all
Haha that’s one way to keep a positive attitude ^^
No. Any site that upvotes your post automatically is designed that way. It’s not like Facebook where liking your own comment is kind of like jerking yourself off for the lack of better words
In front of other people, too
Perfect words
No. If anything I’d edit my post to better reflect what I was trying to communicate.
Never, because I’m a very stable geenius.
I probably need to start downvoting my posts after finding a solution.
I see you like playing life on hard mode.
Yup
might as well keep my dumb comments up so I don’t make the same mistakes again
I will now!
No.
EDIT: did it now for the first time
No… until now!
Give me some love too, everybody!
Actually, I think I downvoted myself on Reddit once, but this will be a first for Lemmy.
