So if you post content and never comment you should be blocked? Weird way of operating.

How is that weird? Most normal people comment far more than they post content. It's content and link farmers, as well as bots who have the ratios that they do when it comes to posts vs comments.

Like you... thumbsnap, thumbsnap, thumbsnap, thumbsnap... same fucking domain over and over again. Just farming up hoovered content, stripping original authors and lacking credit on where the content came from. You're a great example, thanks for the reply.

Bro I post relentlessly because I am suicidally depressed and being able to help make other people happy makes me feel less shitty. I think it's kind of an insane take to say "If someone posts a lot then they're content/link farmers" as if there aren't a thousand different reasons why someone would post.

That's just making some wild assumptions while being toxic as hell towards those you don't know.

Don't listen to them, you do good work friend. I know holidays can be rough and depression makes everything harder. I'm just a pm away if you need a sympathetic ear who gets it

I'm doing it to drive traffic to communities I run (and the platform in a more general sense). I'm not a bot, I don't care about personal upvotes or boosts. Small reddit-like sites need content.

Right? "I don't like people who post a lot." Dude. It's a fledgling site. Reddit openly admitted to fleecing traffic when it was starting out but this dudes angry that users are engaged with Lemmy and wanna help it grow and provide content?

Guessing the dude has me blocked already and there's not going to be anything of positive value lost from my comment sections.

You're doing good work and you don't deserve such hate or bullshit.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Eh, it is what it is. Some people are just miserable assholes who want to inflict it on everyone else. Says everything about them and nothing about me. The fact that I've got trolls following me around and downvoting everyone of my comments or messaging everyone in a thread to lie about me is just proof I'm doing something right.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Keep doing what you're doing. I don't know what their problem is.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 11 months ago

I mean, content is great -- and you're not a person I'd consider for blocking. Your ratio of content to comments is lopsided toward the content, but it's not like these guys with 400k post and 2k comments. There's a threshold. I block people who aren't genuinely interested in communication on the platform.

It’s an image host. What host do you prefer?

[–] [email protected] -5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

you really took that personally and couldn't resist outing yourself, huh?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

No I comment quite a bit and try to be helpful.
