Here's one vote for just be the witch if that's what people need from you.

Just make it be what you want to say and how you want to say it. And when they come after you, shame them to the best of your ability or treat them like they are not there.

That strategy didn't work out well for the witches of the past...

So what? There's all kinds of things that didn't work in the past that at some point began to work.

It wasn't someone who was primarily motivated by fear of the past that made it work the first time.

A good general rule in life is that people get one chance to show why they're not worth communicating with, and that's it.
