If you want to unlock the maximum level of aggressiveness and viciousness in your mentions, you have two options. The first one is to tweet about politics. The other one is to tweet something that seems to invite reactions from people in academia.
The other day I tweeted something p mild about perception, and instantly a dozen angry psychologists popped up in my mentions. Today it was economists, after I said that ppl didn't pay enough attention to incentive engineering (I wasn't talking abt econ)https://twitter.com/fchollet/status/1389725209800830980?s=19 …
It's kind of hard to predict *which* tweet will anger people. The best filter is to ask: what sort of people are going to want to react? You don't want the answer to be "political activists", for instance
Many people see Twitter as a game where the goal is to dunk on others in front of an audience and get likes as reward. It almost doesn't matter what you say -- it's all about how it gets framed.
A framing of my tweets I've seen maybe 5-6 in the past few weeks: "dumb tech bro is trying to reinvent my field, let me immediately assert intellectual superiority". It's funny to me because I'm usually just posting whatever I'm currently thinking about -- spurs of the moment.
As for the "tech bro" part, no one who knows me would describe me as one, but having "Google" in your bio instantly earns you that label. Again, framing.
@fchollet I enjoy your tweets and the thoughts they stimulate in my own "tech bro" mind. Thanks for posting! Keep it up and ignore the negative crowd on here.
Where are the angry psychologists? I checked your tweet and replies are quite mild...
It's all in quote tweets (lead dunks) and replies to them (follow-on by the audience). Dunking via reply is the poor man's dunk: you only do that if you have no audience of your own
