    Fuck you Zuck. Leaving Facebook has been great for me, it’s not virtue signaling, it’s a quality of life improvement.

    Ass.

      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.

    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,

    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.

    isn’t virtue signaling doing something good but just for shows? so he is implying that quitting fb is a good thing to do
