    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.
