Thank you, I try to argue facts, and the fact is that I was rude and needlessly confrontational in that thread.

I do my best to learn from my mistakes.

Eh, there are obviously content I miss from your instance, but I noted that I mostly got annoyed at it, and as I sometimes have a tendency to get into arguments before realizing where I am posting, I decided that I simply didn’t want to deal with it, and to leave you alone, I don’t bother your instance, and I get a more focused lemmy experience.

I don’t mind interacting with hexbear users out on other instances as the interaction is calmer.

Oh, and before you feel singled out, I browse All on lemmy, and have a gigantic block list of communities and entire instances, I really should get a new lemmy account that is set up with proper subscriptions and do it that way instead…

This wasn’t the conversation I was thinking of.

I distinctly remember being called out for being on lemmy.zip, and being confused as to why that instance was bad, and later in the conversation the other guy conceeded that I didn’t seem as bad as they thought based on the instance.

With the regards to the linked conversation, I agree the conversation could have gone better from the start, I make no claims to be infallible, this is a good example where a conversation happened 2+ years ago, when I used sarcasm more than I do today.

I remember before I blocked hexbear, the users there had a weird dislike of lemmy.zip and started harassing me in a thread.

I replied and after several comments back and forth they decided that I wasn’t a super evil guy after all.

Anyway, after that annoying encounter, I decided to block the instance to avoid further annoyance going forward.

It could be that the admin of piefed.social has some kind of beef with .zip?
