Conversely, the worst thing you can do is say something controversial in one tweet, and then put the qualifying statement in the succeeding one. To the mob it will be as if the qualification never happened.

One trick for avoiding Twitter mobs is to try to arrange that no individual tweet is exciting as the subject of a quote-tweet. E.g. mention the topic in one tweet, then say the dangerous thing about it in the succeeding tweet, but merely using a pronoun.

Very niche Tweet, this. Don't think 'igniting a Twitter mob' is a top concern for anyone without millions of followers.

It becomes a concern around 5-10k tbh

I honestly don’t understand why anyone fears the sort of mob you mention. If it’s something I stand by I couldn’t care less what some niche online group of randos have to say.

Easier said than done. I never been there, but I would never want to be quote tweeted by a blue-check six figure number followers person. It can be psycholoically maddening and sometimes career threatening.
