You Virtue Signal

I Virtue Signal

We Are Not The Same

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 hours ago

What if I never used Meta in the first place? What does that make me? Am I a virtue signaller too?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I virtue signaled over a decade ago.

If treating people with respect and standing up for the greater good of an inclusive society that doesn't villainize people who aren't harming others is virtue signalling then I wear the title proudly.

Zuckerberg is about make people want to quit even more now.

I just left because the platform is full of spam, narcissists and crazy family members that I don’t need in my life. It’s not fun anymore. Hasn’t been for a decade.

Geeze this guy gets a hobby and buys new clothes, and suddenly it’s hardcore this, hardcore that.

And everybody knows he stole Facebook from Spider-Man

I’ve been virtue signaling for years now. I can’ wait till Meta corp is a tiny greasy stain in the historical record. I’m had two dear friends ask me about the fediverse since Sunday.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah! Let's go!! Signal to me baby!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 hours ago

uh-huh, uh-huh!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 hours ago

Some people may leave our platforms for virtue signaling

anyone who quits Meta is 'virtue signaling'

These are not the same thing. Just a blatant lie.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 12 hours ago

So he's saying people wouldn't sacrifice much if they were to leave Meta-backed services?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 hours ago

Mark Zuckerberg’s opinions on ethics and morality are very important to me.

(I won a bet with myself. I managed to type that whole sentence without bursting into laughter.)

[–] [email protected] 11 points 12 hours ago

this headline gave me a much needed chuckle, what a world.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 hours ago

There were plenty of reasons for my deleting fb over a decade ago, and this horsefuckery is just one more fuckery to add to the list of fb fuckeries (damn, they are many!).

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I have no idea what that means, but okay. I quit about a decade ago and have since tried a couple times to "get back into it" so I could keep up better with family/friends, but was unable to muster the desire after a day or 2 and would end up forgetting. Doesn't really feel like I'm missing much overall.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Virtue signalling means that you want to appear like you're better than you actually are, at least in public.

So it means that Zuck thinks people who leave Meta are actually scum, they just want to look nice to others.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

If he thinks I'm scum, that works for me!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 hours ago

"are you a chicken Marty? Are you?" jeez... so mid-to-highschool 🤦

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Actually, I'm okay with that. I signaled my virtue, and I hope that you will, too.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 hours ago

Give me reasons to stay. I ret really annoyed by all the garbage my friends share and thus how little value you provide. give me value and I'll stay. Simple as that.

Deficiency signalling.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 hours ago

Ok zoomer, whatever makes you feel good about your decisions.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 hours ago

I wasn't going to bother, but this kind of makes me want to delete my Facebook account.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 hours ago

I heard he also goes to AAnon meetings, calls everyone there a bunch of virtue signaling pussies, slams a beer and walks out.
