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.

Unfortunately this rule wasn't communicated clearly before, so I'm making this post for visibility.

Edit: As the comments clarify, this has to be done in good faith, typically just a one word "disengage" comment. If you add more stuff to the discussion and then say "disengage" at the end, you're not disengaging, it's a way to put a stop to a toxic argument not to get the last word in.

Libs when they have to contend that Disengaging means forfeiting the argument and not that “I win”

Even on pre-federation Hexbear I've experienced people who think disengaging is an automatic "I get to have the last word" button.

Thankfully our mods are sensible people when enforcing this rule.
