I hope this post fits the content and format of this community, if not I’m sorry.
I’m just incredibly shocked by the fact that an admin of the instance lemmy.dbzer0.com is openly supporting Hamas.

Actually read the article you posted because you clearly don’t know what the fallacy even is.
What is my mistake?
A strawman is a specific fallacy where a person intentionally misinterprets someone’s agruement and then agrues against that misinterpretation. I did no such thing. Again, read the link you posted.
Intention is not normally considered a necessary condition for the characterization as a straw man.
Regardless of the specific term, any misrepresentation or misinterpretation is equally counterproductive regardless of intention.
Instead of defending your intention, perhaps try reflecting on whether you made any mistakes.
Moreover, the one who offers an argument is the one whose intended meaning is relevant in discussing the argument. When someone claims you have attacked a straw man, it is best to reengage with your own intention of genuinely understanding the intention of the argument you attacked. Instead, you have dug in your heels, only interested in finding a way to prove yourself right, and to prove someone else wrong.
