Whenever I post or comment (collectively, "post"), it has my upvote automatically without me doing anything, so the post always starts at +1/-0.

Now I've seen fresh posts with +0/-0, so not even the user itself is upvoting.

I don't really care that much about votes, but I'm curious. Is this the user removing their own upvote, a client feature, some server feature, or some other reason?

Thank you in advance.

My mbin account doesn't auto-upvote my posts or comments, and neither did my kbin account.

At the time I started using kbin, it was considered a character flaw to upvote your own content. Votes were also public.
