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.

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.

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

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?

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

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