if you dont think what you are saying is relevant or necessary why say it?

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.

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.

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