MODERATORS
This is potentially the most zero voted meme of all time.
All posts start at one upvote. An equal number of votes equals zero, which is basically a negative one.
That implies that the upvote from OP doesn't count but why wouldn't it? OP posted it because they thought it's good, that should definitely count
It thought about that, actually. If I was in a gladiator pit, I would absolutely want my own vote to count, and it does.
However, after thinking about the dynamics of social media updooting, the first vote, in my opinion, is actually the starting point for the scale, not 0/0. It's not that OPs vote doesn't count, it's just that the scale is shifted by one and starts at 1/0 by default. OP can then choose to keep the upvote, remove the upvote or downvote. (Basically, it's not OPs choice to get the 1/0 vote. Changing the default vote, or keeping it, is where OP has a choice.)
There is an argument to be had that all posts start at 0/0, regardless of defaults. My own opinion is that they actually all start at 1/0. Supporters of either could argue they are correct.
I am fully aware that I am making a really stupid argument here, but it's supposed to be in fun.

Let's agree on that.
No, seriously: 1 (1/0) feels like no one cared, but 1 (10/9) and 0 (10/10) both feel equaly controversial. That's why I like that lemmy shows both ups und downs and not only the result.
Pineapple is a perfectly acceptable pizza topping.
Only when paired with jalapeno. Preferably Jalap and bacon.
It is THE BEST pizza topping.

Edit: by the down votes, I can tell people have never been to Sweden 😂
You know I'll try anything once
