Comment on How to deal with people who obtusely miss your point on Lemmy?

I recommend only continuing the interactions where you and your interlocutor seem to have aligned intentions. If they are trying to understand, that’s what you posted for. Help them. If they have partially understood, you have partially succeeded. Use the interaction to help them understand and find better ways of expressing yourself. But if they have named you their opponent, you won’t be able to fix that through the internet. If it seems worth it, add an ‘edit: Blah blah blah’ note to your original post to help keep others from misunderstanding but don’t try to become a teacher for someone who has decided you are the enemy. Communication won’t work without good-faith effort on both sides.
