Even if they are, they still have fucking virtues, unlike your robotic ass, Zuck.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 13 hours ago

Yes, now tell me the problem with that

[–] [email protected] 22 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I'll be glad to signal my foot up his ass

[–] neuroneiro 2 points 13 hours ago

Wait until Ouch My Balls is over

[–] [email protected] 9 points 15 hours ago

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. 🤣

He looks more and more like a cult leader every day.

[–] [email protected] 58 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

I recently commented somewhere that the more Elon Musk leans into MAGA the more he looks like a Sith lord and the affliction appears to be hitting Mark Zuckerberg too lately.

Always two there are. The Master, and the Apprentice.

I was thinking he looks like the bad guy in Dune in that milk bath.

I signaled that virtue a very, very long time ago.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 20 hours ago

I've been boycotting Facebook since before it was cool.

[–] GuyDudeman 15 points 21 hours ago

I did mine like ten years ago.

[–] StopTouchingYourPhone 31 points 19 hours ago

I'm just trying to save his neutered business from my feminine energy.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 21 hours ago

"vote with your wallet and you can affect a corporation!"

Also:

"Fuck you, I'm entitled to your participation (your data) or you're a virtue signaler leftist baby."

I wish I wasn't an atheist, at least I'd have some comfort in knowing pieces of shit get what they deserve. Instead they just become billionaires and live amazing lives.

His AI is picking from random internet phrases to see if it unlocks a reward function.

[–] finitebanjo 4 points 13 hours ago (8 children)

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?

It's weird to realize I would wait in line for like 45 minutes up piss on Zuckerberg's grave, should the legal opportunity ever arise.

Just a thought for his next of kin to consider, in due time...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 14 hours ago

And how much extra to take a shit on it?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 20 hours ago

I don't know, sounds like he's just virtue signaling to me.

“Meta has us in a chokehold. They make money off our presence in order to continue to be in business and yet it’s too difficult for people to leave,” Makichen wrote.

Difficult? How? I'm pretty sure I still have an account on Facebook from it's early days, but I haven't logged in to it in more than a decade. Friends and family can reach me in other ways, like email or better yet a phone call.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

They are talking about their business. The massage place I go to is primarily thru Facebook. They have their own site but it was easier to just request a appointment.

[–] brucethemoose 16 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

Many businesses have dead websites now, as all the visibility is just through Facebook and Google Maps.

It’s very different than Twitter, where most business use (outside of influencers and influence campaigns) amounts to status updates that can be given elsewhere.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 22 hours ago

Stan showed how in southpark s14e04. It was very easy.

[–] lordnikon 10 points 18 hours ago (4 children)

What Mark is really saying you will be back. if anyone is still on Facebook after all these years he is probably right. He also knows if anything that does take it out. He will just buy it up and once again those people will be back under meta's control. He has too much money. The only answer is to stop using identity based social media.

[–] RQG 16 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

My mom moved away from meta because of this asshat. It seems now everything is possible. She went from WhatsApp to signal and Facebook to Bluesky.

[–] lordnikon 8 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Good for her I'm glad one person got away

[–] RQG 5 points 16 hours ago

Me too. But I'm mostly surprised.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 15 hours ago

That's the beauty of the fediverse. It cannot be bought anymore than someone can buy "the internet".

Sorry Zuck, but "virtue" is not the message all those people making hand gestures at you are trying to signal.

[–] bblkargonaut 13 points 20 hours ago

Why would anyone quit adult daycare? Unless they are in the content moderation mines in Africa getting ptsd from seeing the horrors of humanity.

[–] FuglyDuck 17 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I wonder what he would say about me never having used Facebook. or any of his other "services"?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 14 hours ago

"We have your data anyway, sucks to suck."

Just like they have mine too. Because we are the odd ones out. Almost everyone else uses that crap. We get identified in photos someone else uploaded. Fingerprinted when we get to a friend's house and auto-join their WiFi. Buy from a business that hands out metrics for "analysis." Click on shared links that weren't stripped of referrer codes. All those tiny data points that mean nothing on their own but in aggregate let data brokers know us better than we know ourselves.

I hate this fucking timeline.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Mark Zuckerberg is a dork.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 17 hours ago

I quit Facebook and Instagram years ago, long before it was called Meta. Fuck that goon.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 21 hours ago

He whines, signalling his "virtues"

[–] [email protected] 8 points 21 hours ago

watson387 says Mark Zuckerberg can 'go fuck himself'.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 20 hours ago

Someone needs to contraption this fucking guy asap

[–] [email protected] 0 points 20 hours ago

He said that some users might leave as a form of virtue signaling, not that all who leave will be virtue signaling.

Have there been cases of community notes being ineffective or wrong? I assume that community notes probably have some kind of system that can be abused, but I haven't seen it happen.
