Overtime trolling has evolved to be less satirical and more hateful. That is not to say there were not hateful forms of trolling before, because there were. However, with the entire internet at one's fingertips, I think people constantly try to one-up each other and cause large-scale reactions.

I find it interesting that trolling is such a common practice in basic social groups. We often think of trolling as an online activity when in fact people likely come across trolling on a day to day basis.

I find this interesting because alternate personas are common in social media. Often times people act differently when presenting themselves behind a screen. Moreover, many people have completely different identities.

I think this has become a prevalent issue the last few years when looking at politics. The right and the left have felt so divided in recent time and it is difficult to watch politics without feeling like you may be getting "duped."

I find it interesting that many of the new social media platforms took inspiration from websites such as Myspace. In many aspects the original social media platforms paved the way for a superior version to come along.

It is interesting looking back on some of the original forms of social media. I remember growing up as a kid thinking. I could find anything on the internet. That sentiment has become more true overtime.

I found this very interesting. I wonder if this plays a role in how AI voice changers are being used. AI continues to improve their voice impressions. I imagine the computer is accounting for the specific sound waves.

I wonder how the data grouping has changed since Elon Musk took over the platform. I imagine it being similar. However, with the new guidelines around the blue check mark and also the addition of the engagement feature I wonder if there are differences.

Yes and no. I want to say no because someone still created the bot and made it preform specific actions. The bot feels like a mask for the user and therefore, the responsibility should fall on them. However, I would be lying if I said seeing a bot put out a message made me feel the same as a real person. When I see a bot put out information I subconsciously take it less seriously.

This is a very clever method of pushing an agenda without receiving any of the fallback. I find it kind of funny that someone would make a bot or a donkey to push a message, but would not be willing to fight against the opposition.

I think this quote is interesting because it clearly has evolved into the phrase, "treat others how you want to be treated." I heard this saying many times when I was younger and I believe it is still a valuable lesson.

I agree with this definition of Taoism. However, I would like to add some detail on how it has evolved overtime. In modern day society Taoism closely related to the laissez faire communication model. In this approach to communication families show low levels of conformity. Parents believe it is up to the kid to experience and learn lessons on their own. In other words, trying to force something will not maximize the growth of the children.
