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).
I wouldn’t have care if it was the case from the start ( the point I had started using Lemmy) coz I would’ve accepted it as a feature. Yet now if devs would remove it, I know, I’d be a bit upset.
