it's not empty nothings though, banning those links is good and effective bc musk is such a pathetic bitch who crumbles when he thinks people don't like him. is it low effort? I guess, but that's how easy it is to affect him lmao.
Honestly, while it's not much, I'd say it's a bit more than virtue signaling, it's driving less traffic to the hellsite, plus it'll most definitely hurt Musks feelings, always a plus. The less attention that site gets, the better!
i double checked: the subreddit mentioned in the article is r/BG3Builds. but i checked /r/okbuddybaldur & they ALSO banned links to twitter, which is hilarious
same, okbuddybaldur is full of unhinged shitposters but they are legit. i would go there to get away from the insane fandom drama that was the rest of bg3twt. it was refreshing to go from astarion discourse to "when karlach pees, does she pee steam? & can i vape the steam?"
Yup. The most contentious argument I've seen there is the long-running one between the blushing-virgin!Gale and king-of-freaks!Gale camps, and even that's mostly just friendly ribbing.
"signaling virtue" is adopting a virtuous cause's shibboleth devoid of material support of that cause. trying to starve the nazi zombie corpse of twitter of the attention it needs to keep shambling along looking for brains is not a signal, it is an easy material act we should all be engaging in.
