As least it is the behavior I’ve noted. I have to manually “unvote” my posts.

(I would only ask how to remove it, but, since the rules say “open-ended questions”… let’s give it a thought)

    It’s a norm. There was a discussion here on Lemmy regarding this some months ago.

    I think it’s a trivial issue because the sorting algorithm doesn’t really care about the upvote, in terms of all posts being on equal footing. This is, of course, assuming people don’t un-upvote their posts.

    I also think it’s trivial in terms of people engaging with the post, because most people will know a single upvote is OPs vote. If they don’t know this, the difference between a post with 0 upvotes and 1 is meaningless, especially given that there are no visible downvotes (which you can clearly see on Lemmy). Moreover, the difference between 0 and 1 votes is nothing compared to, say 20 or 400.

    In your honor and for the meme, I’ll un-upvote this comment.
