Vaush posts go in the_dunk_tank
Dunk posts in general go in the_dunk_tank, not here
Don't post low-hanging fruit here after it gets removed from the_dunk_tank
You do have to actually disengage though, to be clear. No "I disengage, but also [fuck you, x,y,z, trying to get the last word]". If you're disengaging, it has to be mutually respected.
The usual format is (wall of rage text) then "therefore I disengage." 
no more half measures walter
Type "disengage" and then just posting a continuation of the rant on a different person's post entirely as a bit.
imo i feel like the disengage rule should really only apply amongst comrades. it will just be used to silence us otherwise and the libs have plenty of ways to do that without us handing them another
plus giving the libs a magic debate-winning word seems like it validates their worldview a bit too much, idk
You're acting like libs will actually read the rules before engaging though.
And the debate pervert types would never use a "stop talking to me now" option. They live off of the attention they get for being obnoxious.
This came up as an alternative to blocking when we lacked a block feature. Since everybody has a block feature now, it probably just makes sense to use that, though there are cases where it is preferable to just tell someone to drop it instead of blocking them. Anyway, it is still the rule.
tbh if you blocked everyone that was ever annoying on hexbear this site would be a ghost town lmao
I'm a 3rd gen Hexbear and we've evolved to not have this trait.
Yes! Great note for our new federated friends!
Additionally, the admins have clarified that this is not a free "get the last word" trick either though, so it doesn't count if you go "hey I want to disengage and also here's why you're a doodoo head"
Frankly, most people on other instances have seemed either content to ignore us (and optionally make inaccurate complaints behind our backs), or just as eager to get into a slapfight as our users, so idk if it will make a huge difference, but this will get us to leave you alone if you are in that scenario, and if it doesn't can be reported to our mods/admins
That's not what that means - it means if you don't want to argue with us, just stop arguing with us.
Liberals after posting disengage:
checkmate tankies
Nazis after posting disengage:
guys it says in your own rules that you have to disengage, and you keep on posting the fucking picture of the pig with the
Cease all motor functions
Russian bots:
This is dumb. There's basically no scenario where this would be used in good faith.
You seem to be the only person who cares about this, Zuzak. This is a rule that to my knowledge has never been mentioned or enforced. I didn't even know we had rules until last week and I've been here the whole three years. Pulling this out as a "gotcha" that everyone has to abide by because it's in a document no one knew existed, that is never or nearly never referenced, and that in no way guides or informs site culture is not helpful or productive.
If anything, we should be discussing revising the site rules to reflect current practice, now that some people know they exist.
comments get removed & people have been banned for pursuing an argument after one user has 'disengaged'. you've really never seen this? it is in the rules, and i think there was even a clarification at a later date regarding people who'd say 'disengage' but continue the argument for the last word.
i guess it's fortunate you've never been in a shit-flinging hostile enough it's been needed but this is by no means a new rule or one that's gone unused/appreciated
It's the rule, and it always has been if you want it to changed, talk to the mods, I don't have the power to change it even if I wanted to (I don't).
is not helpful or productive.
I saw a blahaj user post a link to this in defense of staying federated in their thread, so I beg to differ.
Not to mention, you just said you hadn't heard of it, now you have. Sounds like the post was necessary then.
Stop screaming “disengage” at me, I don’t know what that word means and I will never stop posting
I DO NOT WISH TO CREATE JOINDER WITH YOU
In the past, this rule has only applied to the specific user you say it to. I'd like to suggest going forward that if someone on another instance uses it, we treat it as applying to all of us.
Gonna be hard to get this since I don't think most of us are down for reading a 200-1000 comment thread before commenting when the disengage request might be buried somewhere in it.
The corollary is that bad faith disengages don't count as disengages.
