"The only reason to stop using our platforms is virtue signalling" is the same argument as "only a pussy wouldn't drive a ford truck, and you're not a pussy are you?" except restated by a pyschopath nerd instead of a jock. And it'll be telling who that argument works on! - ThreadSky

It will not work on my FB has been enshittified so much over the past few years I barely check it. I'm just killing mine on 1/20 for the comic effect.

Gay people not wanting to be called mentally ill freaks are virtue signalling by leaving

A psychopath nerd who really wants people to think he's a jock

"Unlike you brainwashed commie libs, I'm a free thinker! Which is why when some creepy nerd trying to look like a temu brand 90s rapper tells me what to do, I listen!"

Basically these billionaire dorks are creating online versions of "Cassandra's Lair" in the Void from Deadpool Wolverine, aroused by playing the role of Cassandra. And they're too narcisstic to imagine that most of us don't care to subject ourselves to that experience so "virtue signaling".

It is kind of telling that many people think saying a behavior is virtue signaling is supposed to be insulting

he wants to be loved so bad he's willing to tell himself stories about why the haters do what they do

Um… I decided to leave because I couldn’t see any friend posts on my feed anymore, no matter how much I “curated” and blocked things.

Zuck deciding to hitch his wagon to misinformation was merely the last straw. Poorly researched political AI posts aren’t going to make anything better.

Haha lmao. I virtue-signalled by making a cross with my fingers, throwing garlic at him, and steadfastly refusing to sign up for FB or any of its offshoots no matter how may invitations I received - and that's been my position since way back in 2007. It hasn't changed one lil' bit.

Joke's on him 😜🤣

The ultimate refuge of monopolies are oligarchic government intervention, where the oligarch cozy up to people in power in order to preserve their decaying, dieing platforms.

it's pretty galling to be lectured about virtue from that dead-eyed homunculus

When avoiding a sewer is virtue signaling

I'd rather virtue signal than vice signal.

Instagram moderation was infamously atrocious before all this. There's no way I'm staying on a platform that did nothing about anti-vaxx influencers and nazi propaganda level caricatures of minorities, and wants to become worse. If wiping my account of photos is virtue signalling, so be it.

Eat shit, Cuckerberg.

Let's also note that Social Media platforms - things that you don't need to pay for and where you're primarily representing an image of yourself and your values - are by their very nature almost exclusively designed for virtue signaling!

dasdoak.bsky.social•53 days ago

And this is even more obviously the *sole* design function in image-heavy platforms like Instagram, where there isn't even the lampshade of "people discussing things" - the medium flattens almost everything into a performance for the audience. It's *entirely* virtue signaling.

I think it's hilarious he thinks he's anyone to imply anyone else is a pussy when he spread his own self so wide and so quickly for Drumpf
