Can you or can't you vote on your own content?

I have carefully read the Guidelines for content creation and the Sololearn community, both the previous and the current ones. It is not clear to me whether voting on my own content is considered a good or bad practice. https://www.sololearn.com/Content-Creation-Guidelines/

Beldavisss 👾 again yes this is "a bad practice" even here on sololearn as it use to be considered as part of xp farming just as creating multiple accounts for the primary purpose of upvoting.

Beldavisss 👾 "bad practice" as ofcourse you are bias in opine .. It's best to let others. However, if they are not your clients nor your bosses .. the weight of their vote may be obscuring value in rather the code is done optimally, cleanly, and produces the results as expected not just today but over the life of the code per client needs.

Basically one can upvote their own post/ comment/ code -- it is tolerated when the account that created the post, for instance, upvotes their own post with the same account. However it is not tolerated to create a secondary account for the purpose of upvoting the content of one's primary account.
