Introducing quotes from authors that were related to the subject would really show how people were locked in the context of media immediacy, the environment. Links to outside citations would almost always generate replies from people who obviously did not study the citation and just wanted to respond back.
It used to be something people said ‘out loud’ about people not reading links and just commenting… then it just became normalized.
Interesting observation…
yes, reading code to people, basic interpretation. It’s a pattern that I think comes post Cambridge Analytica media tactics.
yes, interpretation of various things, not just reading normal prose.
Both lemmy.ml and lemmy.world down over 30 minutes now
