Here is a dilemma: If you like getting downvoted for liking something, then do you upvote your own comment or do you downvote it?

Practically I believe up\downvotes are public, so you can't. Otherwise you look like you're just a troll if you're downvoting your own comment.

Your own comments are upvoted automatically, so every new comment starts with 1 point. You can remove your own upvote from your comment, so that it starts at 0 instead.

Yeah, but people can see if you downvote your own comment, right?

Removing an upvote is not the same thing as downvoting

Ok. I'm not sure what that raw data looks like, how easy it is to see the specifics.
