Because I uploaded a pic which is a reversed version of its parent (it was like that on FA) but it has a higher resolution.

My upload: https://e621.net/post/show/998622/

The resolution of my upload is 3000*2000, while the parent is 1050*700

Why was the other one mirrored in the first place?

Dont know :/

the bigger version is from the artist's FA page
the smaller, mirrored version is from the commissioner's FA page

Oooooooh ok

In a technical sense?

• On E621, files with the same md5 count as duplicates.
• If you're searching using iqdb.harry.lu, resizes may be considered as duplicates (but not flips or rotates)

In a 'is it legit to flag this' sense? I think so in this case. In cases where there isn't a resolution difference in addition to the transformation, it would be more questionable.

Absolutely, flipped posts should be flagged as dupes. Same goes for crops, etc.

You know, I don't think the extra exclamation and question marks were necessary. Anyways, setting your avatar is as easy hitting the button "set as avatar" and confirming your choice on the far left side (under Options:) of the post.
