He posted all of this while wearing a watch that is worth six times more than the house Jimmy Carter lived in for 43 years, during which he was the epitome of a humanitarian. Maybe Zuckerberg should try to learn some lessons in virtue and humility from Carter before he posts anything about them.
Too bad I deleted my Threads account yesterday, so as a “mentally ill” and “abnormal” gay man, I can’t go tell the billionaire bigot to go fuck himself.

If leaving Meta is virtue signaling, what is paying $1M to the incoming administration and hiring one of the president's friends for your board? Vice signaling?
'Virtue signalling' as a phrase was always a projection from people completely lacking in compassion, and vice signalling has been their usual response to it for many years, yup.
Vice signaling is the act of individuals and corporations showing willingness to corrupt themselves and their morals to curry favor with Trump. It's Meta allowing for hate speech against certain groups. It's banks dropping pledges to fight climate change. It's Amazon paying $40MM for a Melania doc.
It's also really foolish of him. In his spineless desire to appease trump he will soon come to the same place Ben Shapiro finds himself in now. Surrounded by people who, beneath it all, hold him in equal if not more contempt than those he is happy to throw under the bus for them.
tbh, i think they fully understand and want this. ppl like zuck aren't true "capitalists". they have achieved unfathomable wealth so all they want now is "rent"--forever income--and they don't care where it comes from anymore.
When I hear the expression “ virtue signaling ” I hear, “I am trying to make morality, ethics, and empathy sound fake and negative to people who lack critical thinking skills.
People leaving Zuckerberg's platform because of the removal of safeguards for minorities and minority inclusion are likely to be doing so for reasons of fear of where this is leading society, not virtue signalling.
It’s another way to denigrate people who don’t support the free reign of hate. Why is it virtue signaling to remove oneself from seeing a string of hateful filth, regardless of reason? People who use ugly language like that are adding to the problem, not explaining it.
Marc Anthony, I think. Or whatever. I'm so disgusted with how oligarchs hate "wokeism" and love "traditional values" and buddy up with fucking authoritarians and say "they're just regular guys who love their dog".

No, it's not. Just delete and move on. This I can't leave the app argument is ridiculous. If you are truly concerned, then move on.

Wonder if that'll sink in.
he is usually more disciplined than allowing himself in the comments like that
l imagine this week has been worse for him than for any of the users
egads l also imagine he must be quite flustered and stressed
l imagine trump and crew must have known the hate would focus on mark aayyyeeeee
no props to mark from me with this decision of his
he caved when he should have fought
oof
is a term on parallel with “evacuating my bowels”, neither has a legitimate place in the conversation of a normal person.
Maybe “cowardice signaling” works too.
The variations are endless.
Jesus Christ they all caught the Elon bug didn't they
