"Being virtuous is virtue signaling."

Ok. How about go fuck yourself Mark. Am I vice signaling enough for you now?

I’m counting on these changes actually making our platforms better

HAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHHA - wheeeeeeeeeeze - HOOOOOHAHAHAHAHAHA-HA-HAAAAA!!!

The Meta boss was defiant in downplaying the possibility of a mass exodus of users.

I mean, he's probably not worrying too much about the US/EU markets, since in terms of MAU, Southeast Asia probably represents over 70% of that. Does anyone know what has been the general reaction to his bullshit over there?

Mary-Frances Makichen, a Threads user who has 253 followers, lamented that Meta and Zuckerberg “are counting on the fact that it’s too hard for people to leave Threads and IG.”

Pretty much. It's probably actually impossible to fully delete the accounts, fuckyzucky lives off users' data.

summons angry goose:

"Which virtues, motherfucker?!"

K. quits anyway

I forgot that not being part of a platform that just changed its rules to openly allow and advocate for hate speech toward trans people is virtue signaling.

Sorry that I want trans people to live without harassment and have human rights, I guess. What a virtue signaling asshole I am.

Anyone who doesn't want be evil is doing so performatively. Obviously.

Mark Zuckerberg is a whiny piss baby.

He can just hire h1bs since they think they are so much better than American workers. Why does he care?

What about those of us who never joined?

He's been taking testosterone hasn't he.

1. Announces moderation team gutted

2. Announces that "community notes" will handle moderation

3. Make a bunch of moves to purge anyone in the community that might actually provide a factual "community note"

Anyone who claims someone is virtue signalling is virtue signalling. Except this one comment.

Anyone who stops using my product is a poo poo head

Well then, since 2016 I've been a Virtue signaling mother fucker. Fuck Zuck!

I quit Facebook because it stopped showing updates from my friends and groups I subscribed to. I couldn't care less about Zuck's political leanings as long as his product had any use for me.

I quit Facebook years ago because it's a shitty website full of spam.

IG has gone down the same path. It's like 70% suggested/sponsored content that's worthless at best if not disinfo, propaganda, fraud, etc.

Fash make trash.

like in this app used by 2 billion unique users globally?

20 years ago, a piece of shit like Mark Zuckerberg would have used a similarly meaningless term like “political correctness” instead. Made no sense then and makes no sense now. What is the problem exactly? Is there something wrong with having an ethical framework and applying it consistently? Or, having standards? Using this framing, any ideological viewpoint is inherently bad, including the nihilistic and hypocritical one that Zuckerberg himself is expressing here. It’s all just nonsense, and further evidence that the economy that plied this asshole with so much wealth is anything but a meritocracy.

I think it would also be fair to say that anyone who doesn't is also virtue signaling.

Lol

The kind of people who would be bothered by being accused of "Virtue Signaling" are also the kind of people who are aligned with the rise of fascism and enabling of racism on the platform. But do go on acknowledging that working for Meta is itself an immoral position.

So he has confirmed that Meta is, as whole, a negative hasn't he?

LMFAO virtue signal deez nuts. Fuckerberg.

I haven't had Facebook in 10 years lol. I don't have a vote on this one.

I quit before virtue signalling was a term that people used to describe things they don't like. I wonder what he would have called it back around 2012?

What I find delicious is that he is implicitly stating that being on any Meta platform is not virtuous.

Why didn't he just say anyone who quits Meta smells like poo-poo and pee-pee? That would at least be funny.

No its called having morals and standing by them. Virtue signaling is when you pay lip-service to a cause and don't walk the walk. Almost like zuck doing his dei stuff when it was popular and doing a 180 as soon as it becomes slightly unpopular.

I virtue signaled 7 years ago when the whole Cambridge Analytica scandal broke, realizing that Facebook is a seedy company that can't be trusted.

Zuck is a fucking piece a shit. But the headline and article misrepresents what he was saying. His actual quote was "Some people may leave our platforms for virtue signaling" and appears to be directed towards users, not Meta employees.

"Signaled" my "virtue" in 2016. Fuck you, zuck.

Your hubris is showing, Fuckerberg.
