Mark Zuckerberg says anyone who quits Meta over lack of fact-checking is ‘virtue signaling’
nypost.com
“No – I’m counting on these changes actually making our platforms better,” Zuckerberg wrote on Threads, the X-like social media site owned by Meta.

      It’s vice signaling. There’s nothing virtuous about Meta or Zuckerberg. Let’s not forget his first try was a hot or not clone with pictures of women he used without consent.

      And that new perm he got definitely isn’t virtuous.

      Out of the loop here, so let me get this straight: Did they build gender-neutral bathrooms that are now gendered by placing a sticker on the door? What on earth could be the purpose of that?

        We have that at my work, but they are still gender-neutral bathrooms when the other one is in use and someone needs to use it. You can’t really ungender-neutral those bathrooms.

      The sad reality is that most people, like an overwhelming majority, won’t leave. Most don’t even have a clue this is happening in the first place, those that do, love their family and friends more than they hate Mark.

      And where are they going to go? I heard Cory doctorow liken it to Anatevka (the town in Ukraine from fiddler on the roof) the people were sad they were leaving because they knew it would never be the same again and they might not see each other again. They didn’t like getting beat by Cossacks and it was a shitty place to be but they didn’t want to leave their people.

      Dumping a platform that has your friends and family is a hard thing to do especially if it’s the only meaningful way you can connect with them otherwise. Especially if you know some won’t leave and some aren’t going to go to the same place you are.

        On top of that, so many places no longer have websites, they have Facebook pages. Wanna see the menu to your favorite restaurant? Fucking Facebook. Want to know the hours of operation of that computer repair place? Fucking Facebook. Want to know if the shop you’re going to carries your brand of something? Believe it or not, fucking Facebook. It’s so integrated into our culture at this point. No private entity should ever have been allowed to amass that much power.

          I have used Google maps and it has worked well so far. But it’s just the lesser of the two evils.

    What should we call blatant pandering to Trump and his ilk? MAGA signaling?

        I mean both… obviously if you want to get on trumps good side you combine bribing with censoring content he doesn’t like, and making sure not to censor or even fact check his lies.

    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’ve been virtue signaling for years now. I can’ wait till Meta corp is a tiny greasy stain in the historical record. I’m had two dear friends ask me about the fediverse since Sunday.

    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.
