I am one of those people, and honestly it depends on the situation.
Mostly, I appreciate it when someone points out I misunderstood, and am always happy to reflect and correct myself, and apologise if needed.
Sometimes though, if I have interpreted something as demanding or insulting, I am right, and others perspectives are not seeing what I'm seeing. In those situations I do not like someone else pointing out I've misinterpreted, because I'm sure I haven't, and it's more likely the other person is missing the subtext.
I suppose all you can do is be absolutely sure it has been misinterpreted, and that the offended person doesn't have good reason to be so. Maybe a private message instead of a public response if you are unsure?

@JaxVent@lgbtqia.space I would only really post if I was quite sure it was being misinterpreted but it seems like a situation with too much risk of not having full context. If someone misinterprets me I'll let them know but I guess I'll keep my nose out of others conversations. I probably only actually post about half the things I type out in general anyway. My intention is clear to me but it's not always so clear to others and being misunderstood as attacking sucks so hard.
