He looks more and more like a cult leader every day.
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.
Virtue signaling is a good thing. The problem is lack of virtue, not presence of signals.
What I love most about the phrase “virtue signaling” is that when people accuse you of it they are themselves virtue signaling.
isn’t virtue signaling doing something good but just for shows? so he is implying that quitting fb is a good thing to do
Yes. But he’s so dumb he doesn’t realize it.
to be fair, the lizard people don’t have the concept of virtue
When someone does something you don’t want them to do, but the reason you don’t want them to do it is completely invalid - that’s when you call it virtue signalling.
If quitting your site can be taken as virtue signaling against misinformation and bigotry, your site may have some systemic issues.
I signaled that virtue a very, very long time 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.
It’s not virtue signalling if you truly mean it.
Our feeds should be our own.
I quit Crackbook a decade ago over the algorithm forcing shit at me I had no interest in.
That’s when I learned what a dark pattern was. I started seeing it pop up nearly everywhere that used algorithms.
Did the same with Twatter a few years ago. Again, I was over being forced to see shit I had zero interest in. This time I removed my footprint, leaving a handful of posts.
No one noticed either time I’d left. (No one ever does. That’s a whole other rant about the state of anti social media.)
Never used Threads. Won’t even click on the ones that are shoved at me through Insta.
Kept Insta for patterns and recipes, and over time I’ve stopped engaging on the platform. It’s just as bad as the others for the algorithm and ads. Staying is on me, I know. Sunk cost fallacy or whatever. I didn’t want to lose my collection of patterns that exist no where else.
I started the process of removing what little remains of my presence on IG. Discovered I’m not allowed to remove likes ‘to protect the community’. Deleting my own content bugs out often. Removing saved bookmarks bugs out often. No way to keep the videos I refer to often to make things.
Damned straight I mean it when I say I will cease using Meta products. I am tired of being told how to use something, or how I should think and what I should believe.
Zuck can fuck all the way off.
I don’t know, sounds like he’s just virtue signaling to me.
