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.
I think in that case I’d probably add an update to the comment. But downvoting yourself feels really honest somehow
Oh, I edit with a strikethrough or correction as needed. But that's what downvotes are for, reducing the impact of irrelevant content.
Yes. When somebody else has a better take and I want it to be the top comment, I will downvote mine.
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.
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. If anything I'd edit my post to better reflect what I was trying to communicate.
Yup
might as well keep my dumb comments up so I don't make the same mistakes again
