    Yeah if I realize I’m factually wrong or being a dick for no reason and it’s too late to shadow edit I’ll state as such and note to the parent comment I’m wrong and downvoting myself. It’s more mature than just deleting your comment, which fuels the fantasy that you’re not talking to real people and can just take back anything you say and un-say it. Getting downvoted or murdered by words and then just deleting your comment is kinda cowardly and doesn’t allow you to grow IMO. If you (I) cared what people think maybe you should have thought about it more before you said it.

    I tested it to see what would happen a few days ago, since there are some platforms where downvoting your comment causes it to become deleted. Nothing happened, so I just went about my way.
