GM! Running your own node has zero impact on whether a new soft fork is successful unless you go the big extra step to load a specific client to reject blocks containing that soft fork. A lot of people here seem to think running their own node will help ossify Bitcoin. This is factually inaccurate because soft forks are by definition backwards compatible. Example: Pre-Segwit nodes don’t reject or crash when a block contains Segwit transactions.
