Why would anyone quit adult daycare? Unless they are in the content moderation mines in Africa getting ptsd from seeing the horrors of humanity.

As opposed to signalling that you have none.

Mark Zuckerberg is a dork.

I quit Facebook and Instagram years ago, long before it was called Meta. Fuck that goon.

Ah, so he admits that it is virtuous!

[–] lordnikon@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (6 children)

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.

That's the beauty of the fediverse. It cannot be bought anymore than someone can buy "the internet".

Eat turds Zuck

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Well then I'm virtue signalling, fuckface. I deleted all the Meta platforms I used, save for my fake white supremacist Facebook account because I use that to tell the employers of Nazis that a Nazi works for them. I am done with my personal accounts though.

[–] LostWanderer@lemmynsfw.com 9 points 1 month ago

ROFL I’m signaling the virtue of my privacy kept safe by escaping Meta and not being on a platform hosted by a deranged billionaire. 🤣

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 9 points 1 month ago

Even if they are, they still have fucking virtues, unlike your robotic ass, Zuck.

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 month ago

Yes, now tell me the problem with that

[–] watson387@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 month ago

watson387 says Mark Zuckerberg can 'go fuck himself'.

[–] nick@midwest.social 7 points 1 month ago

Someone needs to contraption this fucking guy asap

[–] splonglo@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Man, Zuck the cuck Fuckerberg is really virtue signalling saying something like that damn

[–] PanArab@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago

Yes, we are. You are still losing users.

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

I quit facebook during the obama administration lol

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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?

[–] chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

No, it's saying they're doing something mostly superficial and useless because they think it will make people see them as virtuous, where they wouldn't have done it if it wasn't a highly visible act, not that the actions are actually virtuous. So like someone volunteers for one day for some charitable cause, but spends the whole time taking selfies and not actually helping much.

That said I'm not sure what the logic is that quitting facebook counts as this

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (8 children)

Alright but the highly superficial act is seen as virtuous. The act we oppose when we use this phrase. That act. It is virtuous. Therefor we in this hypothetical stand against virtue and goodness.

[–] PumaStoleMyBluff@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (4 children)

It generally means that we don't believe they'd be taking that action if there weren't a camera rolling or trending hashtag to follow. It's not criticizing the actual action, but the context around the action.

You know, some people actually try to be good people.

Fuckerberg.

I'm not sure if this headline meets the criteria for not the onion.
