summons angry goose:
“Which virtues, motherfucker?!”
Privacy, information security, democracy. Others too, I’m sure.
The first was enough for me a decade ago, the rest are just icing on the cake.
Bye Felicia! Meta exodus.
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.
Wanna see the menu to your favorite restaurant?
I have used Google maps and it has worked well so far. But it’s just the lesser of the two evils.
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.
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.
Well, he’s right, if they’re quitting over him removing the fact checkers. He’s also virtue signaling that he’s actually for free speech by removing them, just as he was virtue signalling that he was a good boi by hiring them in the first place. Zuckerberg is going to signal to whoever is currently in power that he’s going to do whatever they tell him to, no matter who it is, because it’s in the best interest of his position at fb.
I think getting rid of fact checkers is a good thing, but I don’t think for a second that he wouldn’t immediately get them back if the next admin told him to.
this headline gave me a much needed chuckle, what a world.
So he’s saying people wouldn’t sacrifice much if they were to leave Meta-backed services?
I virtue signaled over a decade ago.
If treating people with respect and standing up for the greater good of an inclusive society that doesn’t villainize people who aren’t harming others is virtue signalling then I wear the title proudly.
Using the phrase “virtue signaling” is virtue signaling
FUCK
I think it would also be fair to say that anyone who doesn’t is also virtue signaling.
Anyone who doesn’t want be evil is doing so performatively. Obviously.
“Being virtuous is virtue signaling.”
Ok. How about go fuck yourself Mark. Am I vice signaling enough for you now?
I forgot that not being part of a platform that just changed its rules to openly allow and advocate for hate speech toward trans people is virtue signaling.
Sorry that I want trans people to live without harassment and have human rights, I guess. What a virtue signaling asshole I am.
Love what your saying enough I wanna try to rephrase it for extra zing.
“Billionaire toddler virtue signaling to wannabe Fascist leader angry to be facing repercussions”
Lol
K. quits anyway
This is the move.
