Copy-paste template
Hot take: [One sentence controversial but defensible opinion] Here's why I believe it: • [Reason 1 — evidence or experience] • [Reason 2] Where I might be wrong: [Steelman the other side in 1–2 lines] Change my mind: What's the strongest counterargument you've seen? Keep it respectful — I'm here to learn, not win.
Field notes
Take a real stance, not rage-bait. Acknowledge the counter — doubles comment quality. Moderate toxic replies.
