themselves absolutely do not engage with political ideas “in good faith”.

It's not like you engaged with their political ideas in good faith though.

I think I have in the past. Then I had people from Hexbear just being total cunts in their replies. They were very intolerant of different views, rather than engaging with those views in good faith.

Maybe I shouldn't generalise across Lemmy.ml and Hexbear though - maybe some people on those instances are decent.

Have you considered that they may also have a past experience of people being total cunts as well? Why should they engage with your views in good faith if you don't engage with theirs?

I had a conversation with someone, I think they were from Hexbear, and I was trying to be polite while they were just being insulting for no reason.

Maybe I should just conclude that the particular person I was talking to was rude, and hopefully other people from leftist instances are not as rude.
