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.

You Virtue Signal

I Virtue Signal

We Are Not The Same

[–] normalexit 20 points 1 day ago

virtue - behavior showing high moral standards.

Wouldn't want to signal that.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I virtue signaled over a decade ago.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day 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.

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.

[–] Lemminary 7 points 1 day ago

I was and I did. What of it, Markie you salty bitch.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

uh-huh, uh-huh!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 17 hours ago

Lotta reasons and responses here i plan on using for when i finally make my "fuck you all i quit" post this weekend.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

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

[–] 7fb2adfb45bafcc01c80 12 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

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

[–] simplejack 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] SlopppyEngineer 8 points 1 day ago

I just wanted simple updates from the people i follow in a chronological order. But no, it had to be by the algorithm, all in seemingly random order, and the feed full of slop I didn't ask for being force fed like I'm a turkey being prepared for the holidays, That's why I left.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day 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] 5 points 1 day ago

Aw, is little baby Zuck upset that he's going to lose money somehow?

[–] Tylerdurdon 7 points 1 day 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 1 day 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.

[–] Tylerdurdon 3 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 20 hours ago

Why did they cover the $900k watch in the image?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day 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] 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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

[–] _wizard 3 points 1 day ago

Wish I could. Have to admin a bunch of brands on it though.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day 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.

[–] themeatbridge 5 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day 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.
