I wish I could quit Whatsapp but my fucking country (Brazil) depends on it for everything

I believe in "free speech" but if you leave my platforms you're virtue signalling.

Or it could be your social media sites are full of death of the internet AI garbage and bullshit.

Well then I'm virtue signalling, fuckface. I deleted all the Meta platforms I used, save for my fake white supremacist Facebook account because I use that to tell the employers of Nazis that a Nazi works for them. I am done with my personal accounts though.

Man, Zuck the cuck Fuckerberg is really virtue signalling saying something like that damn

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.

Anyone who quits Meta says Mark Zuckerberg is a colossal dick.

You know, some people actually try to be good people.

Fuckerberg.

so he admits it's virtuous... just that he thinks some people are doing it disingenuously...?

I quit facebook during the obama administration lol

If quitting your site can be taken as virtue signaling against misinformation and bigotry, your site may have some systemic issues.

Ah, so he admits that it is virtuous!

My virtues are signaling over here

I'm not "virtue signaling" I'm tired. I'm tired of the ads.

I'm tired of the algorithm intentionally fueling flame wars.

I'm tired of INESCAPABLE "meme pages," run by spam bots, that just recycle the same tired shit over and over and over again.

I'm tired of the THREE different video systems that are inexplicably not interoperable. Reels, Facebook Live, and video Instagram posts all showing up in my timeline but all are part of separate systems. Meanwhile, if I share a link to a YouTube video, it gets suppressed by the almighty algorithm. Because how dare I show my followers/friends something they'd might like to see if it takes their eyeballs away from Facebook.

Finally, I'm tired of companies selling people like me down the river to score political points with chuds.

The phrase "virtue signalling" is itself a form of virtue signalling 😏

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

Looks like he is starting to follow Elon down into the rabbit hole off asshattery.

Lemmy user says anyone who doesn't quit being CEO of Meta is 'guillotine signaling'

Fuck you Zuck. Leaving Facebook has been great for me, it's not virtue signaling, it's a quality of life improvement.

Ass.

This is the same guy who has called people 'dumbasses' at one point for trusting him.

Which is it, Asspuckerberg? Is everyone a 'dumbass' for having joined you and your shitty platforms in the first place or is everyone 'virtue signaling' because they've finally grown tired of it? Sounds to me, one of these paths has the high road, so yes, I'll gladly do it in the name of virtue-signaling. A signaling of how that there's mountains of your bullshit that can't be withstood anymore.

Guess I was "virtue signalling" back before the term was even coined.

sounds like he recently received a magadouche orientation and is going through the lexicon

I'm not sure if this headline meets the criteria for not the onion.

Virtue signaling is a good thing. The problem is lack of virtue, not presence of signals.

What a fucking loser.

isn't virtue signaling doing something good but just for shows? so he is implying that quitting fb is a good thing to do

lol

Eat turds Zuck

Zuckerberg reportedly decided to do away with censorship mechanisms at Meta after a seemingly innocuous photo that he posted on Facebook in November 2023 about the surgery that was performed on his left anterior cruciate ligament failed to go viral,

pathetic

Yes, we are. You are still losing users.
