Not sure if you got an answer yet...

I use XFCE, which uses LightDM. Not sure if Fedora MATE also uses LightDM, but 
it might.

Checking for instruction with a web search it wants me to edit 
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

This will work, but it is likely to get stepped on during upgrades (the problem 
you experienced).

The better way is:

cat /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/local.conf 
[Seat:*]
autologin-user=doug


Any time there is a whatever.conf.d directory, this is where your local 
modifications should live. This allows you to run a default foo.conf, which 
allows an upgrade to see that it is unchanged and thus allows the update to 
give the new developers version of that conf. Your local updates should still 
work, assuming they have not totally re-written the conf rules.
