Do we really need self upvotes in Lemmy? (lemmy.ml)

I never really thought about the automatic self upvote on Reddit and Lemmy. But after reading this article Dont let me like my own post, i'm wondering if we should just get rid of it. Its not really adding anything, or does it? Plus removing it would slightly simplify the code, and slightly less federation messages would get sent (probably unnoticable in practice).

I just want to see the UI of Lemmy better follow the laws of proximity
