    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.

          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.

      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.
