I felt the same as you and tested it out on my first couple posts (learning by watching the effects). I then read a post from someone who apparently felt the opposite was true. Since upvoting your own post used to be default, you'd think it would more widely accepted. Thank you for your help as well.

Yes, freedom is important! Upvoting your post is widely accepted but its a community, thus, people will have varying views. That aside, nothing wrong in upvoting your own post. That decision is yours to make. Losing your freedom however, will make your journey less fun. It's a post, yours or anothers, it is a post
I agree with you, only the feeling of freedom will give us a theme and meaning in our messages, especially will give the strength to promote it. Thank you @surpassinggoogle
