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.

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

I see you being Chaotic-Chaotic over here.

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.

I don’t think anybody decided that an upvote count of 1 means anything.

Turns out he is a knob, I'll follow his lead and downvote him too

I mean, if it makes them feel better, more power to them. I was just curious about their reason.

Well, I don't think we have decided on a standard meaning for an upvote in the first place, so we do as we like.
In the end, it's all about what makes me feel more satisfied.

I see a blue button, I press it, it goes grey, I'm happy.
