Gloria Mark, Chancellor’s Professor of Informatics at the University of California Irvine, has tracked attention spans on screens for two decades. In 2004, people averaged two and a half minutes on any screen before switching tasks. By 2016, that had <br />fallen to 47 seconds. This is frequently cited as evidence that screens inherently fragment attention. But look closer at what Mark’s research actually shows. The fragmentation correlates not with screens in general but with specific design patterns: <br />notification systems, variable reward schedules, infinite scroll. These are choices made by specific companies for specific economic reasons. They are not inherent properties of the medium. Peer-reviewed research demonstrates that social media platforms <br />exploit variable reward schedules, the same psychological mechanisms that make gambling addictive. Users don’t know what they’ll find when they open an app; they might see hundreds of likes or nothing at all. This unpredictability acts as a powerful <br />reinforcement signal (often discussed via dopamine ‘reward prediction error’ mechanisms), keeping people checking habitually. This isn’t because screens are inherently attention-destroying. It’s because the dominant platforms have been <br />deliberately engineered to fragment attention in service of advertising revenue.

Your inability to focus isn’t a failing. It’s a design problem, and the answer isn’t getting rid of our screen time

Leave X - Protect Democracy

leavex@mastodon.social

Le Monde ("sur X"), El País ("en X"), Tagesspiegel ("auf X"), The Guardian ("on X"), you name it.

How much attention is generated simply because politicians use X as their main communication channel? How much journalism is dragged into following and amplifying what is said on a platform widely recognized as a disinformation and hate speech tool?

If politicians left X, how much of what remains would be newsworthy beyond the gossip sections?

Until when?

Marina Weisband: "Ich kenne das ja selbst. Wenn ich früher hörte, dass jemand was Dummes gesagt hat, bin ich auch auf Twitter gegangen und habe kritisiert, was jemand da Dummes gesagt hat. Aber warum potenzieren wir die Aufmerksamkeit für dumme und böse Menschen? Warum machen wir nicht Menschen bekannter, die klug sind, die Visionen formulieren? Das würde ihnen mehr Macht geben, denn Aufmerksamkeit ist Macht."

Marina Weisband: "I know this myself. When I used to hear someone say something stupid, I would go on Twitter and criticise what they had said. But why do we increase the attention given to stupid and nasty people? Why don't we make people who are intelligent and who formulate visions better known? That would give them more power, because attention is power."

That's the core reasoning of our campaign.
