I think you misinterpret my disagreement as lack of comprehension.

No, I'm referencing you mixing the moderators into this when I've told you they got nothing to do with it. I'm literally trying to take the full responsibility for this instead passing it off to the moderators.

It’s like you all took a course in conflict de-escalation and chose to do the opposite.

I prefer honesty and dialogue over the corporate spiel. Sharing my view points and getting counter arguments is how you learn about people opinions beyond the their rage comments. I've already said sorry to the lemmy.world administrators that contacted me about the issue and have no problem saying that in this instance, the pinging was a mistake. I've also told you that it wont happen to your instance again as I've spoken to one of your admins.

(You’re not even using the politician’s non-apology “I’m sorry if some of you feel upset”.)

Do you want that sort of thing? You make it sound like I'm wrong for engaging with people who disagreed with the pinging instead of passing off some fake apology and not engage further.

I made precisely two accusations in that post:

(1) Like other spammers,you thought that your message was more important than people’s subscription preferences

Yes, that is a wrongful accusation. I only wanted to help someone who asked for help with their migration. I do not think my message is more important than other. Pinging does not suppress other people's messages. Everyone can ping, it's built in feature meant to be used. Just because you disagree with the usage, doesn't make your unrelated accusation true.

(2) Everyone involved in this mass spam is completely unrepentant and you all sound like you’d do it again in a heartbeat if you had another important message you wanted to share.

This is also completely wrong. Blaze have said sorry in multiple comments, one of those comments were even a reply to you, so I really do not appreciate you falsely accusing him of something that is provably false. I've also made it clear in multiple comments that this wasn't the intended outcome of the action, and that the notification would need to be revised if ever done again. How is that not making it clear that I wouldn't do it again?

I'm also not willing to accept the statement that this is unequivocally a bad action to take. I've done it once before and the comments in that instance were all positive, only a single person downvoted the comment pinging users. Based on the feedback from this instance, it clear that it's contextual when it's a good move and when it isn't.
