Mark Zuckerberg says anyone who quits Meta is 'virtue signaling'
Ah, so he admits that it is virtuous!
If quitting your site can be taken as virtue signaling against misinformation and bigotry, your site may have some systemic issues.
Well then, since 2016 I've been a Virtue signaling mother fucker. Fuck Zuck!
I'm not sure if this headline meets the criteria for not the onion.
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.
I literally cannot stop getting "support our troops" or other "MAGA" style shit right now. Also random Zionist pages. I've never "liked" any of them, I've hit "hide posts like this" a million times, nothing fixes it. And if you actually tried to contradict people on those posts, I mean, the ones that get sent to you have 10,000 comments, you're just shouting into the void.
Looks like he is starting to follow Elon down into the rabbit hole off asshattery.
He’s been an asshat at least as far back as when he was enrolled at Harvard. Facebook was originally called Facemash, a “hot or not” clone for guys at Harvard to rate the attractiveness of their female classmates (without consent).
Starting to? He's been on that road at least as long as musk of not before.
Yeah, Zuckerberg is a leading alt-right figure since, like, what is it, January 15th now, so I think that was January 11th.
Guess I was "virtue signalling" back before the term was even coined.
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.
Not just dumbass. He called them "dumb fucks" for trusting him and his site.
sounds like he recently received a magadouche orientation and is going through the lexicon
Lemmy user says anyone who doesn't quit being CEO of Meta is 'guillotine signaling'
Yes, we are. You are still losing users.
Fuck you Zuck. Leaving Facebook has been great for me, it's not virtue signaling, it's a quality of life improvement.
Ass.
lol
Eat turds Zuck
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.
I like the term vice signaling, which is what they do all the time. at least I get virtue signaling. but these people are like "hey look how terrible I am" and it's just baffling.
What a fucking loser.
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
I never saw a post from him on Facebook, I was wondering if he even posted..
Some def are. Some even started using hashtags to signal, lol.
Says the guy who suddenly started hitting all the typical shithead slogans and talking point as soon as it seemed beneficial.
"It seems free speech is back on the menu." - paraphrased, but that's basically what he said. The Democrats were keeping free speech down!
Right? Wasn't he super busy with "de-lizarding" and trying to be the cool friendly billionaire? That took a turn quickly lmao.
As opposed to signalling that you have none.
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.
Can't he just call it woke like all the other right-wingers?
Making a unnecessary public statement that they are quitting prob is, I don't know.
Nah, that post helps their followers know where to find them.
It's called being a political consumer, you dipshit
Even if they are, they still have fucking virtues, unlike your robotic ass, Zuck.
Yes, now tell me the problem with that
I'll be glad to signal my foot up his ass
Wait until Ouch My Balls is over
ROFL I’m signaling the virtue of my privacy kept safe by escaping Meta and not being on a platform hosted by a deranged billionaire. 🤣
He looks more and more like a cult leader every day.
I signaled that virtue a very, very long time ago.
I've been boycotting Facebook since before it was cool.
I did mine like ten years ago.
I'm just trying to save his neutered business from my feminine energy.
"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.
His AI is picking from random internet phrases to see if it unlocks a reward function.
I never understood that phrase. If you admit there is virtue to your opponents actions isn't that just certifying you are wrong regardless of the opponents intentions?
No, it's saying they're doing something mostly superficial and useless because they think it will make people see them as virtuous, where they wouldn't have done it if it wasn't a highly visible act, not that the actions are actually virtuous. So like someone volunteers for one day for some charitable cause, but spends the whole time taking selfies and not actually helping much.
That said I'm not sure what the logic is that quitting facebook counts as this
It's weird to realize I would wait in line for like 45 minutes up piss on Zuckerberg's grave, should the legal opportunity ever arise.
Just a thought for his next of kin to consider, in due time...
And how much extra to take a shit on it?
I don't know, sounds like he's just virtue signaling to me.
“Meta has us in a chokehold. They make money off our presence in order to continue to be in business and yet it’s too difficult for people to leave,” Makichen wrote.
Difficult? How? I'm pretty sure I still have an account on Facebook from it's early days, but I haven't logged in to it in more than a decade. Friends and family can reach me in other ways, like email or better yet a phone call.
They are talking about their business. The massage place I go to is primarily thru Facebook. They have their own site but it was easier to just request a appointment.
Many businesses have dead websites now, as all the visibility is just through Facebook and Google Maps.
It’s very different than Twitter, where most business use (outside of influencers and influence campaigns) amounts to status updates that can be given elsewhere.
Stan showed how in southpark s14e04. It was very easy.
What Mark is really saying you will be back. if anyone is still on Facebook after all these years he is probably right. He also knows if anything that does take it out. He will just buy it up and once again those people will be back under meta's control. He has too much money. The only answer is to stop using identity based social media.
My queer friends have flooded away from FB after the change in moderation standards. There seems to be a critical mass now. I'm just a tad disappointed they went to Bluesky instead of following me to Mastodon.
Yeah that's my point if it gets critical mass that starts to impact Facebook he will just buy it. It's not the first time Jack Dorsey has sold out to a fascist asshat.
That's the beauty of the fediverse. It cannot be bought anymore than someone can buy "the internet".
Sorry Zuck, but "virtue" is not the message all those people making hand gestures at you are trying to signal.
Why would anyone quit adult daycare? Unless they are in the content moderation mines in Africa getting ptsd from seeing the horrors of humanity.
I wonder what he would say about me never having used Facebook. or any of his other "services"?
"We have your data anyway, sucks to suck."
Just like they have mine too. Because we are the odd ones out. Almost everyone else uses that crap. We get identified in photos someone else uploaded. Fingerprinted when we get to a friend's house and auto-join their WiFi. Buy from a business that hands out metrics for "analysis." Click on shared links that weren't stripped of referrer codes. All those tiny data points that mean nothing on their own but in aggregate let data brokers know us better than we know ourselves.
I hate this fucking timeline.
Mark Zuckerberg is a dork.
I quit Facebook and Instagram years ago, long before it was called Meta. Fuck that goon.
He whines, signalling his "virtues"
watson387 says Mark Zuckerberg can 'go fuck himself'.
Someone needs to contraption this fucking guy asap
He said that some users might leave as a form of virtue signaling, not that all who leave will be virtue signaling.
Have there been cases of community notes being ineffective or wrong? I assume that community notes probably have some kind of system that can be abused, but I haven't seen it happen.
