Real life dystopia has become so boring, people not directly involved intensify drama online to bring the conflict into their online lives.

An opinion piece I find quite fitting for Lemmy as well. I wonder how a "boring" just fact based rational social media would look like?

How is shitting on a genocidal autocratic apartheid regime "virtue signalling"?

It's "virtue signalling" if you are a white supremacist that can't stand people learning the truth about the west's favorite little genocidal kapo state... they know how that eventually worked out for their previous favorite, Apartheid-South Africa.
