Guess I was “virtue signalling” back before the term was even coined.
This is the same guy who has called people ‘dumbasses’ at one point for trusting him.
Which is it, Asspuckerberg? Is everyone a ‘dumbass’ for having joined you and your shitty platforms in the first place or is everyone ‘virtue signaling’ because they’ve finally grown tired of it? Sounds to me, one of these paths has the high road, so yes, I’ll gladly do it in the name of virtue-signaling. A signaling of how that there’s mountains of your bullshit that can’t be withstood anymore.
sounds like he recently received a magadouche orientation and is going through the lexicon
Lemmy user says anyone who doesn’t quit being CEO of Meta is ‘guillotine signaling’
lol
Eat turds Zuck
Fuck you Zuck. Leaving Facebook has been great for me, it’s not virtue signaling, it’s a quality of life improvement.
Ass.
Virtue signaling is a good thing. The problem is lack of virtue, not presence of signals.
What I love most about the phrase “virtue signaling” is that when people accuse you of it they are themselves virtue signaling.
I like the term vice signaling, which is what they do all the time. at least I get virtue signaling. but these people are like “hey look how terrible I am” and it’s just baffling.
What a fucking loser.
Zuckerberg reportedly decided to do away with censorship mechanisms at Meta after a seemingly innocuous photo that he posted on Facebook in November 2023 about the surgery that was performed on his left anterior cruciate ligament failed to go viral,
pathetic
I never saw a post from him on Facebook, I was wondering if he even posted…
As opposed to signalling that you have none.
I never understood that phrase. If you admit there is virtue to your opponents actions isn’t that just certifying you are wrong regardless of the opponents intentions?
No, it’s saying they’re doing something mostly superficial and useless because they think it will make people see them as virtuous, where they wouldn’t have done it if it wasn’t a highly visible act, not that the actions are actually virtuous. So like someone volunteers for one day for some charitable cause, but spends the whole time taking selfies and not actually helping much.
That said I’m not sure what the logic is that quitting facebook counts as this
Alright but the highly superficial act is seen as virtuous. The act we oppose when we use this phrase. That act. It is virtuous. Therefor we in this hypothetical stand against virtue and goodness.
It generally means that we don’t believe they’d be taking that action if there weren’t a camera rolling or trending hashtag to follow. It’s not criticizing the actual action, but the context around the action.
Even if they are, they still have fucking virtues, unlike your robotic ass, Zuck.
Yes, now tell me the problem with that
ROFL I’m signaling the virtue of my privacy kept safe by escaping Meta and not being on a platform hosted by a deranged billionaire. 🤣
