    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.

      Nah man, clearly you missed the memo that we now just take every statement out of it’s obvious context and straw man the shit out of everything.

      It hurts every real argument against these people when people make stupid arguments like this.

    Bruh they’re taking action. It’s virtue actioning. Unless you’re trying to tell them they need to do something more dramatic?

    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.

    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”

    Oh no, not virtue signaling! There truly is no greater crime! Specifically, it isn’t worse to be an overly-built, soulless chia pet if that’s what you’re thinking. Definitely not.

      They saw Elons return for a 230 million investment and want even more. Hopefully they overreach and we can finally rid ourselves of the billionaires.

      Imagine what Rockefeller and Carnegie would have tweeted about. You know they were crass, detached from reality hemorrhoid clusters, they just didn’t get to spew it to a global audience 900 times a day.

    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.

      Same, also, Zuckerberg has always been a sketch ball who does anti-social and user hostile things with his app, so it was just years of being fed up with that. 2017 was just the straw that broke the camel’s back.
