What we really need is everyone to suddenly quit at once.
It needs to happen so fast there is no time to sell off the bleeding stocks

There is a plan going around over on TikTok that everyone should delete their Meta accounts on the 19th (when the TikTok ban goes into effect). We'll see how many actually do it, but so far it's fascinating to watch.
I'm going to make an account just so I can delete it
Makes me think that platforms banning Trump after Jan 6 were just kissing up to Biden coming in. Maybe there is just a cycle of capitalist sucking up.
"not giving me money is virtue signaling" damn, guess i gotta give him money
Why would a billionaire resort to name calling random people ?
Ooooh ... his wealth and power is threatened.
Also trying out his new tribe's favorite passtime, projection
summons angry goose:
"Which virtues, motherfucker?!"
Privacy, information security, democracy. Others too, I'm sure.
Quit? Proud to never had an account.
No, zucky-fuck. Pretending to care about your users and acting a certain way while you do the opposite to get a small-handed fat orange gremlin back into office is virtue signaling.
"Being virtuous is virtue signaling."
Ok. How about go fuck yourself Mark. Am I vice signaling enough for you now?
I finally deleted mines. I don't want to be on platforms using AI bots to engage users and the privacy issues. I just finally told any family where else to follow me and dipped.
I forgot that not being part of a platform that just changed its rules to openly allow and advocate for hate speech toward trans people is virtue signaling.
Sorry that I want trans people to live without harassment and have human rights, I guess. What a virtue signaling asshole I am.
Love what your saying enough I wanna try to rephrase it for extra zing.
"Billionaire toddler virtue signaling to wannabe Fascist leader angry to be facing repercussions"
K. quits anyway
This is the move.
Mark Zuckerberg is a whiny piss baby.
More on that at 11.
Truth, why couldn't he have stayed the same nerdy dude from his collage years
Woah. A gif from "The Great Outdoors". Now there's something you don't see everyday!
Anyone who doesn't want be evil is doing so performatively. Obviously.
I’m counting on these changes actually making our platforms better
HAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHHA - wheeeeeeeeeeze - HOOOOOHAHAHAHAHAHA-HA-HAAAAA!!!
The Meta boss was defiant in downplaying the possibility of a mass exodus of users.
I mean, he's probably not worrying too much about the US/EU markets, since in terms of MAU, Southeast Asia probably represents over 70% of that. Does anyone know what has been the general reaction to his bullshit over there?
Mary-Frances Makichen, a Threads user who has 253 followers, lamented that Meta and Zuckerberg “are counting on the fact that it’s too hard for people to leave Threads and IG.”
Pretty much. It's probably actually impossible to fully delete the accounts, fuckyzucky lives off users' data.
since in terms of MAU, Southeast Asia probably represents over 70% of that
US & Canada is the biggest region for revenue though. This is public info if you look at the slides from the most recent earnings call: https://investor.atmeta.com/investor-events/event-details/2024/Q3-2024-Earnings-Call/default.aspx
-
Announces moderation team gutted
-
Announces that "community notes" will handle moderation
-
Make a bunch of moves to purge anyone in the community that might actually provide a factual "community note"
Damn, I didn’t think of it quite like that, but yup, that’s exactly the result.
What about those of us who never joined?
We are virtuous as fuck... i salute you brother
Anyone who claims someone is virtue signalling is virtue signalling. Except this one comment.
i agree (and this comment here)
Anyone who stops using my product is a poo poo head
He's been taking testosterone hasn't he.
Well then, since 2016 I've been a Virtue signaling mother fucker. Fuck Zuck!

I quit Facebook years ago because it's a shitty website full of spam.
IG has gone down the same path. It's like 70% suggested/sponsored content that's worthless at best if not disinfo, propaganda, fraud, etc.
Fash make trash.

I quit Facebook because it stopped showing updates from my friends and groups I subscribed to. I couldn't care less about Zuck's political leanings as long as his product had any use for me.
20 years ago, a piece of shit like Mark Zuckerberg would have used a similarly meaningless term like “political correctness” instead. Made no sense then and makes no sense now. What is the problem exactly? Is there something wrong with having an ethical framework and applying it consistently? Or, having standards? Using this framing, any ideological viewpoint is inherently bad, including the nihilistic and hypocritical one that Zuckerberg himself is expressing here. It’s all just nonsense, and further evidence that the economy that plied this asshole with so much wealth is anything but a meritocracy.

He can just hire h1bs since they think they are so much better than American workers. Why does he care?

So he has confirmed that Meta is, as whole, a negative hasn't he?
The kind of people who would be bothered by being accused of "Virtue Signaling" are also the kind of people who are aligned with the rise of fascism and enabling of racism on the platform. But do go on acknowledging that working for Meta is itself an immoral position.
What I find delicious is that he is implicitly stating that being on any Meta platform is not virtuous.
