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

Mark Zuckerberg is a whiny piss baby.

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.

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"

Here, take a downvote. Who want to see this sh*t?

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

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.

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

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 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.

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

Lol

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.

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?

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?

LMFAO virtue signal deez nuts. Fuckerberg.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

It’s kinda crazy how fast he’s unraveling into the right-wing griftersphere. Does Thiel or Putin have something on him?

Your hubris is showing, Fuckerberg.

When I was a teen, I thought anyone who joins it is virtue signaling.

he means 'is showing virtue'. And he's right.

The title alone shows admittance that leaving Meta signals virtue and good character.

Why should I care what a self confessed pedophile thinks?

“Some people may leave our platforms for virtue signaling, but I think the vast majority and many new users will find that these changes make the products better”

So he's stripping away protections for marginalised groups to appeal to the "vast majority" who, by definition, don't need these protections and are in no way negatively impacted by their existence. Got it, and fuck you very much.
