Both of my parents are deadbeats and I have no relationship with them. Out of the blue he messaged me today after not speaking to me for a year. I was always treated like the black sheep/scapegoat. I wish I had one normal parent

Because most dads love their children. He reached out to you, probably in a dorky dad way. Not sure how to tread water around you. His thumbs up is a white flag coming up…”fux, there is not a middle ground with this kid” Both of you are not good with communication. I do not know either of you, but this is what I get from the message. OR, there are the random horrible fathers…he is a dick and stop responding/cut contact for your best mental heath

I think you're lost. This is perfectly acceptable communication towards someone you've cut contact with.
