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.

Yes. When somebody else has a better take and I want it to be the top comment, I will downvote mine.

If I ever feel the need to downvote my own post, I would probably just as well delete it.

I see you like playing life on hard mode.

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

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.

No. If anything I'd edit my post to better reflect what I was trying to communicate.

My instance doesn’t allow me to :)

Never, because I’m a very stable geenius.

Yup

might as well keep my dumb comments up so I don't make the same mistakes again

Yeah if I realize I’m factually wrong or being a dick for no reason and it’s too late to shadow edit I’ll state as such and note to the parent comment I’m wrong and downvoting myself. It’s more mature than just deleting your comment, which fuels the fantasy that you’re not talking to real people and can just take back anything you say and un-say it. Getting downvoted or murdered by words and then just deleting your comment is kinda cowardly and doesn’t allow you to grow IMO. If you (I) cared what people think maybe you should have thought about it more before you said it.

I tested it to see what would happen a few days ago, since there are some platforms where downvoting your comment causes it to become deleted. Nothing happened, so I just went about my way.

No, because that's dumb

I probably need to start downvoting my posts after finding a solution.

I like to do it always because it is worth two votes.

No.

EDIT: did it now for the first time

I will now!

No!
