It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Don't worry about it. That user has a tendency to misinterpret communication and then stick to that argument, nitpicking select parts of what you write in order to unveil whatever it is he believes you're conceiling from him. Best thing to do is just not engage.
It's great when it's against chuds, but then again it often ends up just being someone who disagrees with him about a minor thing.

He seems like a great advocate for this instance. /S

I decided not to forsake an entire instance because of one person. He's too hypocritical so I'm probably just gonna block him if he engaged with me again.

I mean, I'm glad people aren't letting bigotry slide, but yeah it's not super nice how a misunderstanding can devolve to weird antagonism. I'm sorry that happened to you.

I do wish they'd at least acknowledge that they jumped to conclusions like I tried to explain. More for them then me.

Yeah, you and me both. It's a whole thing, trust me when I say the best you can do is just not engage. I've tried to point out to them before that they seem to do this, and that they habour grudges as a result, but it just ends up with him calling me a concern troll, or saying that I'm accusing him of being mentally ill or something.
Consider using the block feature.
