RE: Recommended Change to Steemit: Require author to check "Upvote post" every time or completely remove option from the "submit a story" screen
Is 'upvoting' your own stop the same as 'liking or reacting' to your own post? - Noob
@oregon-trail, upvoting is similar to liking or reacting in other social media platforms.
I have upvoted my own posts, and will continue to do so depending on the situation. However, my primary goal is to use my upvotes to help more people than just myself.
My original concern was that the self upvoting was set by default. Once you deselect self-upvoting for your post your choice is saved until you check the box again.
Thank you. I just joined the Steemit community - Steem On! My auto-upvote was/is turned off by default. I didn't even notice the box during my first posts. I am glad to find this forum and look forward to participating with everyone :)
