I sit on my hand and upvote my comments/posts with a numb hand so it doesn't feel like I'm the one doing it.

I always upvote myself. For me it is that if I can't support (and love) myself first, how others can do that after too? So since I enjoy what I post I always upvote and boost them. Hell yeah I don't care if people don't approve, I believe in myself and don't need to be approved from others. If the feature exists it should be used, otherwise just remove it or make it automatic hahaha
Self upvotes feel fine yet self boosts feel excessive to me, but I don't have an actual reason for thinking that.
Yeah, they should make it automatic for people, makes a lot more sense!
I think Reddit's vote system was pretty near perfect, especially in the early days. You should upvote your own posts by default. I also prefer having a combined "score" rather than different scores for upvotes and downvotes.
Oh, and can we get a "sort by top" for comments? I miss that from Reddit.
I generally believe in myself, so I'd upvote me, if I weren't so lazy. Reddit helped me with it.
I don't think it matters if users upvote their own stuff or not, however I don't think users should be given the choice. It should either be users always upvote their own stuff, or users can't upvote their own stuff.
I agree. As a lazy user, I do not want to have to worry about upvoting/boosting my own content.
I've made a poll so we can decide. We could then add the most popular suggestion to the Codeberg repo. I'm personally leaning towards no self upvoting.
Update: Now we've had hella votes I've added a feature request to the repo.
Upvoting myself feels weird, but it feels like something I might have to do to help my posts gain traction, especially if everyone else is gonna do it. Reddit had it right, should just be the default.
I liked reddit's approach. Self upvoting your posts if they aren't upvoted feels ridiculous. (ok, I have upvoted 1-2 of mine when trying to figure out how it works, but it still feels ridiculous)
So I would prefer if they are already pre-upvoted, or you should not be allowed to vote your posts/comments
