No its called having morals and standing by them. Virtue signaling is when you pay lip-service to a cause and don't walk the walk. Almost like zuck doing his dei stuff when it was popular and doing a 180 as soon as it becomes slightly unpopular.

I think it is quite beautiful to see how much <some politically, even if self-perceived, powerful person who is a moral trashheap> falls into the usual strong narcisism tendencies of projection.
“Some people may leave our platforms for virtue signaling, but I think the vast majority and many new users will find that these changes make the products better”
Who is this "vast majority"? Oh right, hetereosexual white cis men. Got it.
Why did they cover the $900k watch in the image?
Your hubris is showing, Fuckerberg.
How long till you idiots realize that you are doing him a favor upvoting his news?
he means 'is showing virtue'. And he's right.
isn't this giant sack of shit laying off like 1000 employees?
So from the title alone he admits leaving Meta signals virtue and good character.
Oh no, not virtue signaling! There truly is no greater crime! Specifically, it isn't worse to be an overly-built, soulless chia pet if that's what you're thinking. Definitely not.
Why should I care what a self confessed pedophile thinks?
Will this decade be known as "the decade when billionares spiralled out of control"? First Musk then this android.
Imagine what Rockefeller and Carnegie would have tweeted about. You know they were crass, detached from reality hemorrhoid clusters, they just didn't get to spew it to a global audience 900 times a day.
They saw Elons return for a 230 million investment and want even more. Hopefully they overreach and we can finally rid ourselves of the billionaires.
Well firstly, virtue signaling is not fundamentally a bad thing. Devil is in the details.
Second, that's kinda rich coming from the guy who's been nothing but virtue signaling towards the upcoming Trump admin since his failed assassination attempt.
Maybe saying you’re quitting meta is “virtue signalling” but actually quitting is virtuous.
Joke's on him. I quit before it was Meta.
Wow, I knew Zuckerberg was a jerk and I knew he was right wing. But I didn’t think he was one of those rightwing immature edgelord jerks on the level of 4chan posters
He wasn't. Mark used to be a sweet kid, but he's been radicalised by all the shit he reads on Facebook. It's not too late, Mark, delete your social media profiles, stay away from that poisonous hellhole!
The fact that this clown even felt the need to talk about this shows that a noteworthy number of people are leaving the platform.
It's a slow burn, but legacy social media must die.
Ah yes, the feed starting with an ad, followed by a reels module alternating between soft porn and dogs, followed by bots and more ads, maybe interspersed with a couple of posts by people whose names I recognize for good measure, are well worth my time. No need to virtue signal, I'm hooked!
I wanted to leave a while ago but their shitty development practices got me locked out of my account due to a bug before I could.
Yeah, his wife has definitely served him divorce papers.
One hopes so. For her own sake if nothing else.
No, shit for brains, giving up your job is an actual commitment. Virtue signaling is a token gesture that costs you nothing - like throwing a million dollars at an inauguration party when you're worth billions.
Kind of like wearing a red MAGA hat.
Why, yes, Im signaling that I have virtues, which is why I am not on your site Zuckerboi.
Bruh they're taking action. It's virtue actioning. Unless you're trying to tell them they need to do something more dramatic?
Using the phrase "virtue signaling" is virtue signaling
FUCK
Banning gender-neutral bathrooms and spinning to anti-woke isn't virtue signalling...
Out of the loop here, so let me get this straight: Did they build gender-neutral bathrooms that are now gendered by placing a sticker on the door? What on earth could be the purpose of that?
It’s vice signaling. There’s nothing virtuous about Meta or Zuckerberg. Let’s not forget his first try was a hot or not clone with pictures of women he used without consent.
And that new perm he got definitely isn’t virtuous.
He looks like a token butch lesbian from a cheap horror movie
I was and I did. What of it, Markie you salty bitch.
What should we call blatant pandering to Trump and his ilk? MAGA signaling?
Boycott - to abstain from or act together in abstaining from using, buying, dealing with, or participating in as an expression of protest or disfavor or as a means of coercion.
Why, yes. I think he's right. Dadgum, he's just so smart.
Aw, is little baby Zuck upset that he's going to lose money somehow?
virtue - behavior showing high moral standards.
Wouldn't want to signal that.
Wish I could. Have to admin a bunch of brands on it though.
Okay, so what's wrong with that, dipshit? The populace fucking hates your stupid policies because it harms, and sticking in solidarity with those it harms is VIRTUE SIGNALING? That's a bad thing?
Go poorly surf and fight MMA you dumb, dickhead. People hate you and you deserve it.
Get fuck't, Zuck. I'm attempting to convince my entire family to go to Friendica.
