oh i wasn't doing it in any attempt of benefitting myself, i wasn't making some excuse when i said i used the iOS app (which is rare, i'm back on desktop now and pretty much always am) and just hit the button cause i could touch it and i just wasn't thinking LOL

i usually think it might come across as tacky to like one's own posts, that might have been the only time i've done it before on hive. since i don't fully understand everything, i would really want to understand what an upvote on my own post would do before doing it- but, BUTTON - MUST TOUCH WITH FINGER LOL

thanks again. i did vote it 0% well over 10 minutes ago and it still shows it in the count, but presumably it will eventually work itself out like you said so i'm not stressed!
