ChatGPT 2022 and GPT-4 May 2023
Reddit to Lemmy due to API fee May 2023
Twitter to Bluesky November 5, 2024 election
And now in late June 2025 after the big "NO KINGS" protest weekend and now the opening of the Israel = Iran war.
Maybe it was watching those media events and people not see that Bluesky was no utopia, it was a world where people had massive block lists passed around - people can't even tolerate the existence of people who do not comprehend or do not understand tiny ideas crammed into Twitter-length thinking and reaction images.
Reddit was long-form, but weaponizing the spam filters made actual links on front-page postings disappear. But really the Twitter-length reaction comments dominate Reddit now, people don't even know anymore about the missing long-form spam-filtered keyword hits (longer the message, more likely to hit a spam filter word).
Fundamentally it's time-based delivery engagement.
Engagement due to recency also creates backlash due to recency. 500 people all posting the same story on Reddit / new feed in a rush with breaking news.
ChatGPT has no time bias on content, it is still based on the user initiating the visit. Where content on Bluesky and Lemmy is based on merely turning on the app and getting the content to react-to (front page of newspaper).
Where as a Lemmy / Reddit community focused on a single topic has people annoyed when low-effort question comes to that topic.
Bottom line is there are people who like to ask questions as opposed to read books.
By posing questions as opposed to reading, understanding does not expand.
For me, this has been the heart of my social media personal crisis. I started quoting books for this very reason, but the worst part is how people started to react to book quotes:
It's much like Reddit well-communicated (often repeated) that people react-comment to click-bait headlines of news stories without actually reading the 1 or 2 page story.
That is what I saw with the quotes reactions.
Today June 18 the context of USA - Iran is entirely different than May 18, 2025. A question has different context, the m ind already is in the context before asking.

I can't write anything, I can't come back and edit this and finish anything.

I know what I want - Malala to solve these problems for me, that people listen to Malala - she sees context of human information systems better than almost anyone. Of course, the serious context she speaks in and audience she draws - still hasn't changed things that much. So that's a huge frustration to witness.

There you go, the Malala not good enough, MLK Jr. not good enough, Recency Bias articulation summed up in one social media screen shot. Time-based news reporting.
We can go to a job and serve coffee day after day, but we can not serve the same media topic day after day. Newspapers have different front page every day, not like menu on coffee. But humans DO go to work and do the same repetitive jobs, even paperwork, even making a film or recording a song creative has a lot of repetitive publishing and technology steps (beyond just the songwriting and recording stage). And the new medium, Bluesky from Twitter November 2024, changes things - but we don't see it until much later.
"Give Peace a Chance" was in Beatles, Yes, other bands. And it's so soft. MLK Jr was doing the harder - act now, it's already too late, Malala too on Jon Stewart show saying WW3 was already here.
We need a "NO KINGS" kind of seriousness about same page goodness.
The antics protests who lay down on streets to stop traffic, who deface public art displays. I disagree with their approach. I'm standing on a street corner every day begging for people to take seriously like "End of world is coming" sign holder. That's the bleeding out torture in this world of apathy. Malala has gone Film Bollywood / Hollywood / TV / fashion fame to balance that. But that's her, a queen of fame from bullet shooting fame. The rest of us who had freedom just get to hold our sign somewhere and say "please understand Neil Postman" 1985.
Mass mind mental breakdowns abound. People are flocking / finding this Iran Israel war exciting news. I see it as a massive failure to have Malala win. Leaders need to renounce their old ways, we have to be able to change minds towards goodness. Goodness isn't popular nor convincing.
Of course this page and most of what I publish is incoherent.
There are only so many ways to say:
It's like that attitude people have towards "undeveloped" or "third-world places" that it is as if people actually desire to die from preventable disease or preventable car accidents or airplane disasters that come with shoddy hardware, poor comprehension of maitenance, not good enogh education or pay for properly sourced parts.
True Detective Season One, one big gutter in outer space. How many ways can I say listen to MLK Jr and Malala? Listen to Neil Postman. Oh how many repeating repaters.
