Announces moderation team gutted

Announces that “community notes” will handle moderation

Make a bunch of moves to purge anyone in the community that might actually provide a factual “community note”
Damn, I didn’t think of it quite like that, but yup, that’s exactly the result.

Well then, since 2016 I’ve been a Virtue signaling mother fucker. Fuck Zuck!
Me too, since 2014, before it was a thing, according to Google trends. Does that make us hipsters? We did it before it was cool.
Anyone who claims someone is virtue signalling is virtue signalling. Except this one comment.
Anyone who stops using my product is a poo poo head
I think it would also be fair to say that anyone who doesn’t is also virtue signaling.
I quit Facebook years ago because it’s a shitty website full of spam.
IG has gone down the same path. It’s like 70% suggested/sponsored content that’s worthless at best if not disinfo, propaganda, fraud, etc.
Fash make trash.
You’ve been virtue signalling all this while!?
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.
Perhaps a mediocracy?
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.
I quit before virtue signalling was a term that people used to describe things they don’t like. I wonder what he would have called it back around 2012?
So he has confirmed that Meta is, as whole, a negative hasn’t he?
Why didn’t he just say anyone who quits Meta smells like poo-poo and pee-pee? That would at least be funny.
LMFAO virtue signal deez nuts. Fuckerberg.
I haven’t had Facebook in 10 years lol. I don’t have a vote on this one.
Don’t virtue signal me, bro!
What I find delicious is that he is implicitly stating that being on any Meta platform is not virtuous.
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.
Nah man, clearly you missed the memo that we now just take every statement out of it’s obvious context and straw man the shit out of everything.
It hurts every real argument against these people when people make stupid arguments like this.
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.
Same, also, Zuckerberg has always been a sketch ball who does anti-social and user hostile things with his app, so it was just years of being fed up with that. 2017 was just the straw that broke the camel’s back.
