As least it is the behavior I’ve noted. I have to manually “unvote” my posts.
(I would only ask how to remove it, but, since the rules say “open-ended questions”… let’s give it a thought)

It comes from Lemmy’s origin as a link aggregator. You can imagine that every link one the web has 0 votes by default. When you submit a post for the first time you are voting for it. You are saying “this is interesting to this community”. In this way the submitter is no different than any other voter, each upvote is saying “I think this is interesting” and every downvote is saying “I don’t think this is interesting”.
Your answer is interesting and worth it. (+1) :)
