Yes, now tell me the problem with that
isn't virtue signaling doing something good but just for shows? so he is implying that quitting fb is a good thing to do
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.

Making a unnecessary public statement that they are quitting prob is, I don't know.

I'll be glad to signal my foot up his ass
Wait until Ouch My Balls is over
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?

He looks more and more like a cult leader every day.
I recently commented somewhere that the more Elon Musk leans into MAGA the more he looks like a Sith lord and the affliction appears to be hitting Mark Zuckerberg too lately.
Always two there are. The Master, and the Apprentice.
I was thinking he looks like the bad guy in Dune in that milk bath.
Baron Harkonnen?
Ya! That guy.
I'm just trying to save his neutered business from my feminine energy.
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.
His AI is picking from random internet phrases to see if it unlocks a reward function.
"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.
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 mom moved away from meta because of this asshat. It seems now everything is possible. She went from WhatsApp to signal and Facebook to Bluesky.
Good for her I'm glad one person got away
Me too. But I'm mostly surprised.
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.
Mark Zuckerberg is a dork.
I quit Facebook and Instagram years ago, long before it was called Meta. Fuck that goon.
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.
He whines, signalling his "virtues"
watson387 says Mark Zuckerberg can 'go fuck himself'.
Someone needs to contraption this fucking guy asap
