I wanna get better at not just spurting out my thoughts with fun as the primary objective, and instead figure out how to tweet controversial takes *without* getting ratio'd. Any tips for methods of presenting tough ideas that don't make people mad at you?

I expect the strategy is different between cases like "we need to work on this problem constructively and I don't want people's anger getting in the way" vs. "I like talking about controversial issues for fun but it's stressful to be insulted by angry people"

This seems true, I think I don't clearly want one-and-not-the-other of these. I think I naturally blurt out 'fun' phrases, and have this orientation (of 'find the fun') in everything, but also sometimes do this while wanting to talk about the problem constructively

my desire to 'actually talk about the problem constructively' i think persists always, like im trying to imagine a scenario where someone puts in a good faith disagreement with a tweet and i don't think i'd ever find this unwelcome. I do find some of myself is unclear to me here
