So he's saying people wouldn't sacrifice much if they were to leave Meta-backed services?

What if I never used Meta in the first place? What does that make me? Am I a virtue signaller too?
Boycott - to abstain from or act together in abstaining from using, buying, dealing with, or participating in as an expression of protest or disfavor or as a means of coercion.
Why, yes. I think he's right. Dadgum, he's just so smart.
this headline gave me a much needed chuckle, what a world.
There were plenty of reasons for my deleting fb over a decade ago, and this horsefuckery is just one more fuckery to add to the list of fb fuckeries (damn, they are many!).
I wanted to leave a while ago but their shitty development practices got me locked out of my account due to a bug before I could.
I just left because the platform is full of spam, narcissists and crazy family members that I don’t need in my life. It’s not fun anymore. Hasn’t been for a decade.
I just wanted simple updates from the people i follow in a chronological order. But no, it had to be by the algorithm, all in seemingly random order, and the feed full of slop I didn't ask for being force fed like I'm a turkey being prepared for the holidays, That's why I left.
Aw, is little baby Zuck upset that he's going to lose money somehow?
I have no idea what that means, but okay. I quit about a decade ago and have since tried a couple times to "get back into it" so I could keep up better with family/friends, but was unable to muster the desire after a day or 2 and would end up forgetting. Doesn't really feel like I'm missing much overall.
Virtue signalling means that you want to appear like you're better than you actually are, at least in public.
So it means that Zuck thinks people who leave Meta are actually scum, they just want to look nice to others.
If he thinks I'm scum, that works for me!
Mark Zuckerberg’s opinions on ethics and morality are very important to me.
(I won a bet with myself. I managed to type that whole sentence without bursting into laughter.)
Actually, I'm okay with that. I signaled my virtue, and I hope that you will, too.
Lotta reasons and responses here i plan on using for when i finally make my "fuck you all i quit" post this weekend.
"are you a chicken Marty? Are you?" jeez... so mid-to-highschool 🤦
Some people may leave our platforms for virtue signaling
anyone who quits Meta is 'virtue signaling'
These are not the same thing. Just a blatant lie.
Wish I could. Have to admin a bunch of brands on it though.
I wasn't going to bother, but this kind of makes me want to delete my Facebook account.
Give me reasons to stay. I ret really annoyed by all the garbage my friends share and thus how little value you provide. give me value and I'll stay. Simple as that.
Why did they cover the $900k watch in the image?
Ok zoomerberg, whatever makes you feel good about your decisions.
I heard he also goes to AAnon meetings, calls everyone there a bunch of virtue signaling pussies, slams a beer and walks out.
How long till you idiots realize that you are doing him a favor upvoting his news?
