    1. Announces moderation team gutted

    2. Announces that “community notes” will handle moderation

    3. Make a bunch of moves to purge anyone in the community that might actually provide a factual “community note”

    Anyone who claims someone is virtue signalling is virtue signalling. Except this one comment.

    I quit Facebook because it stopped showing updates from my friends and groups I subscribed to. I couldn’t care less about Zuck’s political leanings as long as his product had any use for me.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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?
