    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.

    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.

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

    Ass.

      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.
