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.

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”

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

Anyone who stops using my product is a poo poo head

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.

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.

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.

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

“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.

Your hubris is showing, Fuckerberg.

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

Will this decade be known as “the decade when billionares spiralled out of control”? First Musk then this android.

This is exactly the kind of thing a loser would say. Loser CEOs are always whining about people leaving their platform. Winners keep their head down and build something their users actually enjoy using.
